I rode the Detweiller Park loop; counter-clockwise this time. Returning on the north road is a lot easier than the south road. A good workout in 54 minutes.

kanu complete
After almost 18 months, the kanu is finally in one piece - not 6 big pieces and a box of small parts; hole patched with 3M Scotch-Weld Urethane Adhesive 3532 B/A, $15 of new stainless steel nuts, bolts and washers, thwarts, stays and keel pole straightened and realigned - almost like new and stowed away in the garage.

My name on Mars, again...
WE ARE ON MARS – AGAIN!
Dear Planetary Society Member,
The Phoenix landing in the Martian arctic was truly amazing!
High adventure, great drama, and first looks are moving experiences -- but so was seeing The Planetary Society’s first Martian library, Visions of Mars, finally landing on the Martian surface. Hard to believe I held that very disc with your names etched on it in my hand less than a year ago, and there it sits on Mars!
We believe that honoring those who inspired us in the past by sending their creative works to the future is making a statement of great optimism for humankind – Visions of Mars and your Messages from Earth are part of our many efforts to create a positive future for coming generations.
We thank you – the members of The Planetary Society – for making this great achievement happen!
Sincerely,
Louis Friedman
Executive Director
P.S. Watch a video about Messages from Earth and the Phoenix DVD with Society board members Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye and find out what our next Messages from Earth is »
