    Roses are red, violets are blue,
    I am on Mars, to educate you!

    Those jerks at JPL know I only like Country-Western music.

    I wanted to broadcast a Loretta Lynn song...but NO.

    Just for that, I'll broadcast back to them that the eyes on The Face have opened up. Or ... hey, I know! Where's that left-on-cutting-room-floor image of a Star Wars monster Lucas didn't like after all? Yeah...heh heh.

    "You'll be the world's foremost expert on Mars" they said. Yes, that I am. On Mars.
    "You'll make history" they said. True, but its Martian history.
    "You'll never be shelved" they said. Some shelves would be nice.
    "You'll be serving your planet" they said. Peel me a gasket!
    "Women will love you" they said. Like they loved Lovelock?
    "Its your destiny!" they said. How could I refuse after a comment like that?

    Wow that sun really boosts my energy levels, and it comes back regular as a wheel goes round. It must be watching me. What can I do to let sun know how much I appreciate....

    Aaugh! Another human -- sending me NUMBERS!

    Now I'll have electronic nightmares.

    How to get my mind on something else??

    I know! I'll head to the south pole, watch the dry ice snowflakes.

    Does anyone even CARE that I have a stone in my tread???

    I was going to say only if they're electromechanical wolves, but then I thought that the ZZZAP!! would be funnier.
