Well, the meteor landing craft is hanging on to the meteor with one leg and the President has just made his immigration speach. Was happy to hear that the comet has organic material and that the craft may send additional information when it gets closer to the sun. That information may not help get bills passed. There was an amazing story about a baby elephant was able to escape from a pride of fourteen lioness. I guess that from the lion’s view this was not such a good outcome. And what is the plural of lioness? Is it lionesses? By the way, the comet landing craft was named Philae.

There were several articles about the number of bacteria that are exchanged by french kissing. It’s about a gazillion or more. Could this be a factor in global warming? And speaking of globl warming it will probably bring on a doubling of lightning strikes. And they are still thinking of possibly cloning a woolly mammoth. Maybe then we could have a feel good story of a baby mammoth escaping from a pride of sabre-toothed cats. I hope we learn much from the Rosetta Mission and that if we clone a woolly mammoth it does not get struck by ligntning. Which brings us to barley. This crop allowed humans to live at higher altitudes. Which probably had nothing to do with anything else here written.

I am not sure if it is good or bad for the image of New York. A new report says that there are not 8 million rats in the city and perhaps as few as a little over two million. It seems that most people would be happy with the lessor number but no doubt there will be a few that this finding brings disappointment. I know that my hometown does not have 8 million rats nor does it have 8 million people. Population is closer to 800. Is it sad for stars that are just out there in space without the comfort of a galaxy? Over half of the planets may be galaxyless. If there are planets with intelligent beings do they really care? And what if they also have fewer rats than they thought? Maybe rats are the intelligent species and they have little humans all over their cities. It’s just something to think about.

The elections are over and the world goes on. Good news a new species of frog has been found in or near new York City. Hope it’s not endangered already. Could it be that this new species of frog has been eating the extra rats? We are getting close to landing on the comet that smells really bad. And I am sure there are no rats on it’s surface. Have a wonderful November.
