in the darker regions possibly relatively pure water ice, while the
brighter regions likely have a much higher amount of non-ice materials
such as simple hydrocarbons. The middle image shows a very dark surface
almost everywhere, as expected for a surface of water ice and
simple hydrocarbons. The image on the right is similar to the left image,
indicating dark icy regions and brighter hydrocarbon-rich materials.

END OF TRANSMISSION 7/4/4 .......... K
I'm feeling awfully depressed today, the day before America's 228th birthday and the day we celebrate our Independence.
I don't feel like smiling about all the good going on in the world this weekend.
I wish I could spend more time on FR, so that I'd feel more like smiling!!!!
Thank you, Diogenesis. Our brave men died for these wonderful pictures. We need to remember that tomorrow on our birthday.
LOL. Looks like Paul Bremer didn't even get a chance to change his footwear before showing up at the Old Executive Office Building. Or perhaps he just likes 'em.
"Saddam will return but until then, I have a new job!"
"Looks like Paul Bremer didn't even get a chance to change his footwear."
Yea....I noticed that too. :-}
Gotta see this bump.
Thank you, thank you, my friend! Cold eyes of Saddam's cohorts tell me there are cold hearts inside. I hope our guards made them stand for hours in the hot sun - each awaiting their own turn at the dock and sweating like the pigs that they are.
And I hope I live long enough to see them all executed.
OUTSTANDING!
