  1. Avi Loeb TED: My Search for Proof Aliens Exist [Click]
    I have become more convinced in recent years that Earth may be (or is) extraordinarily suited to the continued existence and development of life. Lately there has been a report of possible evidence of extinct microbial life on Mars; but life continued long enough to develop intelligence is another matter. On Earth it seems to rely upon chemical cycles enabled by plate tectonics, which in turn relies upon a massive nearby moon which gravitationally churns the Earth’s mantle. It is yet early days, but I understand that we so far have not observed any such extrasolar system.

    1. And it should be noted that the so-called evidence of Martian life is very iffy.

    2. Yes, tentative indeed until a portion of that rock [Click] or one like it gets to Earth.

      P.S.: On Earth living organisms have been found at depths in rock not long ago considered necessarily sterile.

    1. Eldest*Grand told me tonight that she is definitely going to register before she leaves for college. She turns 18 a week or so before she leaves. I'm not sure how it work in Maine, but in Vermont she could vote when she's 17 as long as she'll be 18 by Election Day.

    2. And in Vermont mail-in ballots are sent out 43 days before "election day" according to the list linked just above.
