Curiosity sent back beautiful pictures of a blue sunset on Mars. Still I am not ready to go there on a one way trip and, of course no one has asked. Mercury has frozen ice and a gravitational field which is the result og a molten iron core. \With a temperature rage of something like +400C to -300C it would be tough to grow evn drought resistant crops. And the heating and ir conditioning bills would be high. At the other extreme there is Pluto and it’s many moons. Can we revote and make Pluto a planet again? A good event may be the very large build up an el nino in the South Pacific. I guess it can be good or bad like much of life. One very positve happening was a man in Engliand who sneezed up a suction cup that had been lodged in his nasal passage for over 40 years. He thought he just suffered from allergies. That is really amazing.

I cannot hep but wondering if the vegetarian relative of the T-Rex was ever bullied? And there was even more news on the dinosaur front. It seems that an early dinosaur flew without feathers. Will they one day discover a flying T-Rex? Just so they do not cone it. Speaking of what might be cloned, scientists are studying the bones of the last surviving wooly mammoths. They lasted until about 4,000 years ago. What new facts will be present next week? It is much cooler here today but I do not think this is a sign of global cooling. Just read that a great  volcano of 1815 caused some clothes to freeze on the line the next summer in New England. Now there is the volcano in Chile and the under water one of the coast of Oregon. A while back I read that potentially the larget eruption ever could come from the Yellowstone Park area. But we are still here and it is a beautiful day in Los Angeles.

My front yard is now full of native California plants and home to many bees and butterflies. I think a pair of doves is building a nest in our tree which is fine with me but scares our dog. Now any dog would be scared of a volcano, a herd of wooly mammoths, or even a vegetarian T-Rex but a dove? Anyway she is a really sweet dog and trained as a dove hound. Have a wonderful May.
