Agua Fria
It's been a banner week for NASA, who have finally crawled out from under their image as overpaid incompetents whose only knowledge of the sky is forever coupled to the word "pie". Following up the news of plans for a moon base, they have announced the presence of flowing water on Mars yesterday. While compelling, though, the evidence isn't completely indisputable, and in fact the gullies they are using as evidence could very well be some other frozen gases. Still, it's exciting stuff! Not so exciting that a good post can be written about it, but excting anyway.

Agua Fria is the street my dad's house is on. My sister's secret agent name was Agent Agua and I was Agent Fria. For about a second when I first saw this I thought you had discovered our secret.
Your post is plenty exciting! I tried to discuss this at work the other day and I got a lot of blank stares . . . sigh.

I know, that's why I named the post that :) it's one of the most charming notes from your childhood that you told me about.
