		<description>&quot;By popular demand, The Awakening Center in Rainier, Washington again hosted Andy in an all-day lecture on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 11:00 o&#039;clock AM to 5:00 o&#039;clock PM. During his talk, Andy focused in detail on his exploits in the CIA&#039;s Mars visitation program, including his training with classmates Barack H. Obama, Regina E. Dugan, William C. McCool, and William Stillings [1980] and the trips that they took to Mars from a “jump room” in El Segundo, California [1981-83]. The Awakening Center is located at 10905 138th Avenue NE, Rainier, WA 98576. They can be reached via e-mail at info@awakeningcenterwa.com and by telephone at (360) 446-7018.&quot;

		<description>Scattered around the planet.

People don&#039;t know this, but Jimmy always had a hankering for space travel, was jealous of the astronauts, and volunteered for the only program which would have him.  He arranged it to look like a mob hit so as to keep the program secret.  After all, most people couldn&#039;t just disappear without someone suspecting something.

He forgot and stepped outside for a smoke, and kerblooey, he was reduced to cellular matter, vaporized, and spread around the planet.  A little known fact which explains why he&#039;s never been found on Earth.

The small traces of methane found in the Martian atmosphere are from his last meal, an enchilada with refried beans.

I didn&#039;t believe this, but then checked Snopes and they don&#039;t deny it, so I suspect it must be true.</description>

		<description>...just way busy, what with Thanksgiving travel and celebration, a hurry up project for a client, and cleaning up the koy pond after it was eaten by a family of bears. 

I don&#039;t have a clue to what they&#039;ve found. Clays, carbonates, organics...?  They might have found evidence of more felsic type minerals, not granite, but perhaps andesite type minerals, which would be odd. Perhaps a mantle phase mineral? (i.e. diamonds, or something less flashy?) Or a strong metal kick: copper, zinc, gold ???. Hydrogen 3? 

Eagerly waiting the results while I keep scratching my head.</description>

		<description>I think they&#039;ve found a rare mineral we can use here on earth, nothing more....something from the matrix that links Mars with earth.
NASA has a habit of hiding stuff and then baiting us, just to give us a big...........YAWN.</description>

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t be surprised if one were correct.

And I&#039;m wondering what someone from MIT or Cal Tech, one of the usual commentators on that stuff, would have to say.  Not that you guys aren&#039;t good, just that someone is likely to have a informal access to more information.</description>

		<description>...carbonates.  Then Jeff-Wash guessed clay.  And I think I like the chances for his guess better than mine.  

I can&#039;t think of anything else it is likely to be.  Wonder what Podrock thinks, but he seems tuned out.</description>
