liquid, solid, and gas

Richard Chalfan in my Questar newsgroup forwarded a fascinating article from _Journal of Cosmology_ about microfossils found in meteorites – I'd heard of them but hadn't seen the evidence, which I think is pretty compelling. The paper's going to be massively peer-reviewed. It's well written and not sensationalistic, but mind-blowing anyhow. Unambiguously organic formations locked in mineral strata of extraterrestrial origin.

Some members of the group pointed out that if the science were unimpeachable then the journal of record would be _Nature_, no the relatively obscure_ J. Cosm_. It's a point; I'm not enough of an insider to judge.

No bleeding the rest of yesterday and none this morning. Pain only at an annoying level; I can maintain less than a half-dose of painkillers and write a few pages here and there.

Gay got me some over-the-counter gas tablets that help me sleep. More entertaining dreams, too. The last one this morning, I had to pee and was in an interminable line, which eventually I followed up a long ladder, and wound up on a springy high-diving board so high that the pool was a small blue square. I was about to climb back down and a voice reminded me I was dreaming, and only had to wake up.
