First off, let me thank all of the veterans of this Country whom have given their lives for the freedom and protection and sacrificed for the good of this Nation. Whether they fought in World War II, Vietnam, Iraq or any other hell hole – they took their orders and did their job to the very end.
Opinions and reasons for these wars may very but the will of the men that was behind them hold strong as ever. And while it may not be our job may to impose our beliefs on others, our soldiers will do their job and continue to serve the World. I am so sorry you have had to endure the hardships you’ve had in the last 5 years and some odd months. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for a job well done.
Hope everyone had a nice get together and/or cookout on Memorial Day. I’m sun burnt so I’m off to aloe myself up and lay on cold sheets!
Night,
Lindsey
History is being made as we speak, Phoenix the Mars lander is sending back black and white photographs of the frozen land it has temporarily inhabited. Courtesy of Nasa:

It will be digging and sampling pieces of the frozen land and transmitting data to send back to Earth to be analyzed by scientists. The theory is that where there is water, there is life and if there’s frozen ice, there’s water. It’s not so hard to believe that there could or could’ve been life on Mars. How far the life has (had) evolved is the real question. I can’t wait to see the pictures and read the news stories that will come from this. The heavens will provide humans mysteries for years to come!
And… the new Indiana Jones movie was pretty good – different than what I expected, George Lucas definitely put his own spin on it. It’s worth checking out. 
Good night,

**UPDATE 7/6/08**
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, I’m sure you’ve probably heard that the discovery of ice on Mars has been officially announced. The real question will be, what compounds/minerals will scientists find in these samples of ice. These samples will be baked (as well as tested with an onboard chemistry lab) to determine the age, formation and make-up of this newly discovered H20. I’m eagerly awaiting the results as I’m sure the rest of the World is. Go NASA!! Below is a pic of the ice that started to melt after a couple of days of being exposed to Martian atmosphere.
