Those brown areas (I know they’re made up colors) always remind me of the rust-colored slime in tidal pools. Good for incubating new life forms.

I’m a two time cancer survivor.
One not serious, the second unrelated one was.
But I survived.
Raskin can as well

Speedy recovery sir!

Sorry to hear this about Mr. Raskin. I’m rooting for a full recovery, of course. I’m sure we all are.
Funny thing, life is. Seems like no good deed goes unpunished. :confused:

Well, he’s done a LOT of good deeds, but you know what I mean…

He sounds like he has a realistic but positive attitude, which counts for a whole lot when going through this sort of thing.

Godspeed you, Rep. Raskin!

Raskin should get in touch with George Santos, he patented a cure for cancer.

Detailed scientific study showing past estimates of near term global warming (pegged variously at one to two degrees Celsius) may be off by as much a eight degrees. 10 degrees Celsius projected. 10 degrees would pretty much render any concept of civilization as we now know it moot.
