And we can only wonder what the weather is like on the zillions of exoplanet throughout the universe. Will there be high tides on that lake as Mar comes within about thirty five million miles of the Earth? And will the gold and copper mine that is being purposed in Alaska be as big as the lake on Mars? There are many questions but few answers. What if we could build a big pipeline from the east coast and move the surplus flood waters to the Southwest and the West? If that works what about sending our excess CO2 to Mars?

Have time to ponder these questions as I enter the 7th year of retirement. Time has flown by like the spring winds on the high plains of eastern New Mexico. Do I miss turning in grade books, grading a million papers, and getting up early in the morning to drive to work? No. Had some great working companions and many wonderful students. Somewhere on all those planets are there many creatures who had such a rewarding work life? And that brings me to a memory of my first paying job. It was during WWll and the salary was based on the number of flies I swatted at my Aunt and Uncle’s Corner Grocery in Tatum, New Mexico.l
