Update from JB
"We had an HGA session with Opportunity this morning and all is well with the rover. The Odyssey folks think they'll have the spacecraft back up over the weekend. So it may be mostly a relatively quiet "recharge" weekend for the rovers. A bit of a shame that we won't get much driving in, but recharging and topping the batteries is also a good thing to do this time of year..."

Don't they mean breaching the batteries?

--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
