Hungry For Sausages

Being born & raised in the wonderfully seasonal

Wisconsin,

I have been intrigued with the idea of staying at one of those

Ice Hotels.

They have all over the place now.

There is one in

Sweden,

Quebec,

Iceland,

Finland,

and you can look them up for yourself if you are interested in finding any other

Ice Hotels

 around the

World.

And that is where my segue comes in.

How soon will it be until we have an

Ice Hotel

on

Mars?

Well,

if you are one of the lucky first pioneer Astronauts to work

or colonize

Mars,

you might be living in the first one on the

Red Planet

real soon.

NASA might build an Ice House on Mars.
by Nancy Atkinson, Universe Today, on PHYS.org
"The Mars Ice Home is a large inflatable dome that is surrounded by a shell of water ice. NASA said the design is just one of many potential concepts for creating a sustainable home for future Martian explorers. The idea came from a team at NASA's Langley Research Center that started with the concept of using resources on Mars to help build a habitat that could effectively protect humans from the elements on the Red Planet's surface, including high-energy radiation. The advantages of the Mars Ice Home is that the shell is lightweight and can be transported and deployed with simple robotics, then filled with water before the crew arrives. The materials that make up the Ice Home will have to withstand many years of use in the harsh Martian environment, including ultraviolet radiation, charged-particle radiation, possibly some atomic oxygen, perchlorates, as well as dust storms."

This next story kind of freaks me out.

Surgeons

cutting into

or cutting out,

body parts.

Something they didn't understand before,
and now again,

so like the good old days,

cut those tonsils out for no reason

and your appendix even before you have it burst.

Scientists identify New Human Organ, the Mesentery.

By Amy Wallace on UPI.com

"The mesentery had been considered a fragmented structure made up of multiple separate parts, though research by Dr. J. Calvin Coffey, professor of surgery at the University of LImerick's Graduate Entry Medical School, has found that the mesentery is actually one continuous structure. During the initial research, we noticed in particular that the mesentery, which connects the gut to the body, was one continuous organ, Coffey, the Foundation Chair of Surgery at UL's Graduate Entry Medical School and University Hospitals Limerick, said in a press release. Up to that it was regarded as fragmented, present here, absent elsewhere and a very complex structure. The anatomic description that had been laid down over 100 years of anatomy was incorrect. This organ is far from fragmented and complex. It is simply one continuous structure. The research could lead to less invasive surgeries, fewer complications, faster patient recovery and lower overall healthcare costs."

“Cutting out bad habits is far more effective than cutting out organs.”

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
