rushing off...
I'm in Los Angeles... arrived yesterday afternoon, after a building inspection at home. Hung out in Manhattan Beach, drank coffee and watched the surf and birds while talking on my phone to my sister V and to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
geekchick. And then met trinker and S. for the first time! Yay! She's much younger than I'd expected, somehow. We had some excellent Indonesian food, the first I'd had in years.
Today... up early after a late-night talk withtenacious_snail (smile). The MEPAG meeting is on lunch break... some new results from the Columbia Hills ascent with Spirit, and the crater descent with Opportunity. Clear stratigraphy. Varves, esp. in lower units. But still no carbonates... lots of sulfites and hematite, reminiscent of Rio Tinto.
I'm going to try to run over now and visitsebab, then back to the meeting a bit late, then home after dinner tonight.
