That's correct, Marty. However, the producers may print the words "bottled using the Champagne method" on their labels.

That's too bad. I hope that whatever it is will move on to some other area.

Hey, Albert.

Could you call whoever is responsible for wildlife/conservation and ask them about it?

But why?

Aside from books, clothes, and a few kitchen tools, I don't really have much that can be exclusively called "mine". Most of what Morgan and I own is shared, or we bought it together. Then again, I have at least two dozen books on my shelves just gathering dust. I bought them, or received them as gifts, and told myself I'd "get to them eventually", but "eventually" just never seems to happen.

Hey, Cassie. I quite agree.

Hey, Albert.

A lovely photo, Marty, but it's a shame about the roses.

Footprints? I'm sure you mean "tire tracks". Apparently the Martian visitors drove a Ford Range Rover 300 million years ago.

I love this short movie, but I haven't seen it in a while. Thanks for the reminder!

Hey, Comsie!

Hey, Dugh and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears* During WWII, two of Hitler's scientists attempted to use eugenics to "breed back" several extinct Prehistoric species, such as the aurochs, an ancestor of modern cattle. It was roughly the size of an elephant. They actually came close to succeeding, but after the fall of the German Empire, the program died out. Without caretakers, their specimens likely died, too. How cool would it be to recreate Thylacines as a living species.

Hey, Cassie.

Covered it in what?

Jorge's eyes appear to be green. Or maybe hazel. If you look at the model on the cover, his eyes are brown. I remember where I've seen this picture of Xavi Sanchez before. He was on the cover of Issue #36.

Is that Xavi Sanchez on the cover?

Hey, Bertie.

Hey, Buckie.

I'm reading a book called "The Extraordinaries", by TJ Klune. A nerdy, very un-extraordinary guy named Nick writes fan fiction stories about superheroes. Until he meets Shadow Star, his town's most famous superhuman (and Nick's secret crush). Suddenly, Nick doesn't want to just write about superheroes; he wants to LIVE as one of them. I'm also writing a short story about a young man who meets a boy with autism/Asperger's Syndrome. The "special" boy believes that he's actually The Little Prince, from Asteroid B-612.

Both.

Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't been online lately. Been busy with a new book.

Hmmm....I don't read very much of fan fiction these days. But I think my worst peeve is the lazy writers who don't study the established canon, especially the characters. "What? That's definitely not something Ron Weasley would say!" Or they just make characters who previously hated each other have sex within two or three chapters. (Harry accidentally swallows a Misery Potion, starts spilling his heart to Draco Malfoy about all of the horrible stuff that's happened from the day he was left on his relatives' front step, up until The Goblet of Fire; Malfoy starts feeling sympathetic, which leads to attraction, which leads to sex...all within 15 minutes of reading) Or they add things that just don't make sense. This was on Nifty: "Harry Potter rather liked his body, which was gaining some muscle tone from lifting weights and general working out with his best friend, Ron Weasley". Huh. I wasn't aware that Hogwarts had a weightlifting room? Also, they're wizards. Aesthetics aside, what practical purpose would that serve? Just wave your wand and say "Wingardium Leviosa!" to lift any heavy objects.

Nope. I believe the term was "sheep shaggers".

There's a term of endearment for New Zealanders that makes use of the word 'sheep'. I can't recall it now, but maybe re-reading Circumnavigation will jog my memory.
