We are on the brink of fall. Schools are back in session, leaves are clinging onto their final days and I for one cannot wait until football starts this week, (Go Eagles!). Fall is a time when kids crack open the books and parents take a sigh of relief that summer vacation is over.

That said, adults don't have to be left out. I found a bunch of stories this morning that I thought you would all like and are pretty facinating. If anything they are great for water cooler natter.

Back in May we did a live chat for the landing of the Phoenix Rover on Mars. Analysis continues this week on the deepest soil sample the rover has pulled up to surface. To your right is a 10-frame loop of ice clouds moving across Mars' atmosphere. Yea, they are just clouds, but they are Martian clouds!

Caught in the wild....new electric car exposed before it was supposed to be.

An explanation as to why Hurrican Gustav wasn't as strong as everyone thought it was going to be.

Please send the video link to the episode on tuesday september 2, 2008 "Moment of death.) which I was in.

Thank you Hilary Burns

I just saw the "rape rack". I say put Michael Vick on a Rape Rack with some unsavry characters. Maybe that will scare some others like him what might be in store for them.

very friendly dog with scars that I see appearing through his fur ( which is finally growing back) as the days pass. I have taken him to my Vet., and he also agreed that this poor starving dog, TITAN, was a victim of dog fighting rings.

Could one of your staff please e-mail me

Please excuse me, but my previous comment was not saved as I was typing it.

I must also tell you that I found this dog outside of my fenced in yard, in Florida... the dog was almost starved to death, until I rescued him from the dangerous street.I couldn't stop crying.

I have him in my home now, and Titan is recuperating, from being abused, neglected and adbandoned....

Never miss a show. Love them all and have learned so much.
