Oh I thought I only had 1 month. Funny how easy it is to miss bold red text.

Section 21 in the MW Ready for PL.

It is amazing how much detail Lowell saw to confirm his grossly off-base interpretation! Lesson for us all.

Thanks, Todd

Can I have parts 20 and 25 please?

I have orphaned these claims since he has not been online at Librivox since then nor done the one minute test.

Thanks, Todd

Well, this was certainly worth waiting for!
Nice reading of a fascinating chapter. Faulty syllogism, but then he didn't have all the facts. Neither do we, but we do have a few more.

Thanks again for your skilled narration.

This piece was a lot of fun; It felt like I was explaining to someone an idea that I knew was true. I wonder what things we take as fact are as dramatily wrong as Lowell's canals. Although I do feel at least partly convinced that, given sufficient time and the right conditions, a planet that would independently produce plant life would eventually do the same with animal life.
