There is definitely water on Mars!
I didn’t do much of anything today. Took grandma to get her hair cut, made mac and cheese for dinner, yep, straight up mac and cheese from scratch, none of that boxed nonsense. And I watched the NASA press conference about Mars. If you haven’t, read about it here. So it turns out there is actually liquid water on Mars, and they know this because they found it in salts and the only way it could be there is either from atmospheric humidity, or from a flow of water from below the surface. The implication here is, where there is water, and particularly briny water, there is a good chance for life as we know it. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, we are going to find extra-terrestrial life soon, very soon.
Beyond that, it’s been an off-day so no running, but plenty of people reposting that stupid privacy notice on the bookfaces. Look people, bookfaces, tweeters, all of social and antisocial media is public domain. Just like if you were out on the street performing a play in public (or just acting like a fool), people have a right to do with it as they please. They can video tape it, share it, do whatever they want. Whether they’re a company or a private citizen, you have no expectation of privacy in public, that’s why the space is called public. So please, to those posts I say:
It’s always the right time for An Officer and a Gentleman references.
Have fun, keep running, and remember, if Gil can run, then so can you!
