I don't know why but yesterday and today U-A picked up several new subscribers. I don't think we've added so many new folks in such a short time. Welcome new folk! And now a bit of (probably unintended) humor. A friend at a rural paper received the following news release. Hmmm, I wonder if I could "buy" (4099) Wiggins... patrick :)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Solar Land Rush Extended Gardnerville, NV- July 29, 2010
The Lunar Embassy, a company created in 1980 for the express purpose of offering to the citizens of Earth purchase opportunities for land on planetary bodies within our solar system, announced today that the moons of many planets have been released for sale in their entirety. During the last thirty years the Lunar Embassy has sold 560 million acres on the Moon of Earth, 314 million acres on Mars, and a combined 106 million acres on Venus, IO (eye-oh), and Mercury. The Lunar Embassy is the only company on Earth with the legal rights to sell land on any of our satellite bodies. (See the web site at http://www.lunarembassy.com) All Lunar Embassy authorized resellers will have the Lunar Embassy logo on their site.
“Since the United States and Chile have now recognized the sovereignty of The Galactic Government, we decided now was the time to grant The Lunar Embassy permission to offer to the general public on Earth, 16 minor moons for sale.” said Dr. Vincent Hamm, Secretary of State for the Galactic Government, “These moons are of historic proximity and cost effective values.”
The moons being offered by the Lunar Embassy for sale, are: Mars – (Phobos, and Deimos), Jupiter – (Amalthea), Saturn – (Prometheus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Janus, Calypso, Helene, Hyperion, Mimas, Encladeus), Uranus – (Puck, Miranda), Neptune – (Larissa, Proteus). (see iown<moonname>.com for more information.)
“We are pleased that The Lunar Embassy will be able to finance these moons with a few exceptions” stated Yasuyuki Matsumoto, Japanese Ambassador for The Lunar Embassy, “The Lunar Embassy mortgage company, with seven years of service, is perfect for those who want to purchase larger properties in our solar system and do not have the available cash to make that purchase. They will use simple interest (2%) and the term of the loans will range from 10 years to 35 years. The Lunar Embassy is in a unique position with their mortgage company as they do not require credit checks, payroll inquiries, or any form of qualifying for these loans in the traditional sense. Since they are the ones loaning on these properties they can set the rules to benefit those with desire to own a moon within our solar system.”
C. Wesley Faires, Attorney General of The Galactic Government said: “After these moons have been sold, the purchaser has the all of the legal right to sell, gift, lease, or in some other manner change the ownership status of these satellites, as conferred by The Galactic Government through the Lunar Embassy.”
