What Happened Today? We left the hotel around 10:00 AM. When we arrived at Key Largo, the road (US 1) was blocked. We found another way (route 905). When we arrived at the Hampton Inn in Naples at 3:00 PM we decided to continue home. Stopped at Cracker Barrel for late lunch. Home by 7:00 PM.
GAIA- Planetary Management:
76. In contrast with the overall trend towards disorder or “entropy” evident in the universe, life creates order from the materials around it, exporting waste in the process.
77. This life has the capacity to influence its environment.
78. When space scientists began devising life-detection experiments, one group suggested that a life-bearing planet might show an unexpected mix of gases in its atmosphere if life’s chemistry were at work.
79. When they looked at Earth in this light, their predictions were borne out with a vengeance.
80. Earth’s mix of gases, and temperature, were hugely different from what they predicted for a “non-living” Earth, as well as from neighboring planets.
