One of the fun things about an oxygen-bearing atmosphere is that things can burn rather prettily. I'm going outside to see if I can blow off an appendage with burning, exploding things.
Happy 4th of July! I'm grateful and happy that hundreds of years ago, some people were willing to risk their lives to achieve something better than what they had. Their bravery, and the bravery of millions like them, helped make America a wonderful nation.
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.
