I moved to the US, where TV is 99% crap and so easy not to watch. I watch only PBS and one, at most two other shows at any one time.

A few weeks ago I visited Uluru (Ayers Rock) in the Red Centre of Australia. It’s called the Red Centre because the soil and rocks are a brick-red color due to the presence of iron oxide – just as they are on Mars. I couldn’t help thinking that if you took away all the plants and animals, this was pretty much what Mars must be like.
