NOTE: I offer a bit of a riff about the rarity of science - not just on Earth but possibly across the cosmos - at the end. We are gadually trying to resume 'normal' life after our family suffered a 'disruption' in our living arrangements that has left us frazzled, with little time for blog updates.
