Boulder power, and a reflections on a Martian

Well, as many folks guessed, a lot of Boulder was without power today, centered in time beautifully on the video chat time. :( I couldn’t even post anything about it, so my apologies. Instead of chatting I cleaned my desk, rearranged my bookshelf, went out for dinner, and played with the dogs. So not all was lost.

We’ll resume the regularly scheduled blog in the morning as always. Until then, enjoy this picture, sent to me by BABloggee Chris Stafford, showing what looks like the reflection of a Martian standing near the Phoenix lander (click to embiggenate). I figure I better post it here and mock it in advance before some antiscience goofball gets a hold of it!
