QUOTE (centsworth_II @ May 25 2007, 10:34 PM)  Strange that just one berry (in the circle) should move so much. [attachment=10531:attachment]  ...no kidding! All I can think of is that it's perhaps unusually spherical, and that the rest of the berries are embedded in matrix or otherwise constrained...does this tell us something about local soil properties (i.e., surface evaporites)?On the other hand, maybe it's just mating season...berries need love, too! 
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

If we had a microphone at Victoria - I think you would hear a V8 rumble.

At this pace we might be again at the tip of Cabo Verde by the end of next week.
Four/five driving sols. |

I'm not in any kind of hurry or anything, but do you think Oppy could be back at Duck Bay before Sol 1219?

Should be back soon, but do they have approval yet to enter?

Wow, my typing is worse than usual. I guess that should have been 1220 not 2020 for Spirit. Of course the Spirit number is in the wrong thread, so no one should have noticed.
