Magawa, a giant African Pouch Rat given an award for sniffing out land mines in Cambodia. He is too light to set off mines or ordinance and can cover as much territory in 30 minutes as humans can in four days. Wow! Some more good news.

After reading New York Time article, I looked up more information concerning this animal. Apparently they are also used to diagnose TB and are much faster than doctors are. Maybe they can be used to find water on Mars and new exoplanets. Tonight is first debate, could they be used to check facts.

Probably the last place in the universe life would be expected to exist. As a child I remember some science fiction in which the cloudy Venus was depicted as a humid and earth like. Was sad to learn how hot and the crushing pressure. The life may exist in the clouds not the surface. Probably Pluto would be easier to colonize than the toxic clouds of Venus.

In these strange and interesting times it great to get some good news. Was also happy when the earthquake was just a short reminder of where we live. The only thing we lack now is an attack of trillions of zombie bats and humming birds.

What to do during the stay at home moments? I will not write a cookbook. Maybe I can finally write the great American novel. Over the years haven’t dot past “It was a dark and stormy night as the asteroid hurdled toward my hometown.” Anyway have the best September 23s ever.
