Late this afternooon, Sunday May 25th, the Pheonix lander will enter the Martian atmosphere and try to soft land on the edge of the North pole.

This is the sister craft to the 2001 Mars Polar Lander that crashed due to either programing errors or physical faults. Sucessfully landing on Mars is at best a fifty-fifty thing so cross your fingers.

Thanks again for you kind thoughts for Danielle. I've not heard anything recently, time will tell. Best wishes to Danielle and family.

On a happier note Bob Arnold is writing new Zapped chapters -- Zapped!-The lost pages. The first test chapter is up now at his Stardust site -- Erin has a link to it.

Danielle_J, who is experiencing another bad reoccurance of cancer asked to pass this message on.

Hi,

I've been hospitalized because of fluid collecting in my lungs. The doctors are trying to keep me from developing full fledged pneumonia. Please keep me in your prayers and feel free to let anyone else, hyperboard, big closet, etc know.

If I can't, Jennibeth will keep you informed.

Danielle

I am one of those cheapskates still using, GASP!, dial-up.

Recently a number of stories posted with graphics on their title/synopsis page and the load time for BC went gaga. Well chosen graphics can enhance a story and entice the reader but go easy on them, please?
