I put Middle Earth Journal in hiatus in May of 2008 and moved to Newshoggers.
I temporarily reopened Middle Earth Journal when Newshoggers shut it's doors but I was invited to Participate at The Moderate Voice so Middle Earth Journal is once again in hiatus.

Summer On Mars


Orignal Photo NASA/JPL, enhanced by Ron Beasley
From a high point on the landscape of the "Columbia Hills," atop NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, sit two antennas that send information to Earth. Those antennas can be seen in this image taken by Spirit on martian day, or sol, 210 (Aug. 4, 2004).

In front of the rover, at the top of the ridge on the "West Spur" region of the Columbia Hills, is a rock outcrop dubbed "Longhorn." On the horizon is the rim of the 165-mile-wide (103-mile-wide) Gusev Crater, inside of which Spirit landed Jan. 4, 2004. This image was taken with Spirit's navigation camera.
It's nice to know there is still someplace with no dirty politics this summer.
