Water From Rock, Easier Than Blood From Stone Gypsum, a rocky mineral is abundant in desert regions where fresh water is usually in very short supply but oil and gas fields are common. Writing in International Journal of Global Environmental…
Neptune On My Mind
Well, sorta. Katie and I indulged in a Veronica Mars marathon tonight, watching most of two DVDs of episodes. It was a good thing to keep me occupied while doing a very, very boring technical chore. She was doing some…
R.I.P. “Dad” Ward
A friend of my family’s, Claude “Dad” Ward, who worked with my father for many years, died this week. He was a good man, and he’ll be missed. He wasn’t my father, but everybody who knew him called him “Dad.”…

Torchwood!
We watched more Torchwood tonight. I love it! But I must find a way to get season 2, episode 2. It’s driving me crazy. There is, however, hope! I just read that the BBC (the real one, not BBC America)…
