First, about the image:
The Mars Rover Opportunity took this picture of the texture on part of a rock called “Tisdale 2″ located on the Martian crater Endveavor.  The portion of the rock pictured here is only about 1.2 inches (3 cm) across.<\/p>

The texture is called brecciated<\/a> with broken rock fragments called clasts<\/a> fused together and embedded in the rocks.<\/p>

Second, no riddle tomorrow.  Time for a Saturday off from riddledom.  Kind of works out well since it is a holiday weekend here in the states.  Don’t worry Marian will be back riddling up a storm pretty soon.<\/p>

Posting this week has been almost automated due to the worry Hurricane Irene would really deal me a blow.  Turns out not so much, BUT major damage starts just eight miles south and a couple miles east of here and whew, it’s bad.<\/p>

Finally, the “happenings” of a couple weeks ago turned out okay.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
