pretty rare too...in all of time, no other
watery world has been discovered.
Cos in this splendid system, Oxygen bonds with Hydrogen,
LOOSELY
, to form, at zero celsius, a
Unique Miracle Molecule
,
ICE
Ice has an
EXPANDED VOLUME when it freezes.
unlike everything else in the
world,
which
contracts on freezing.
Convenient don't you think, that the loose bonding
ice has an open porous structure that is
LESS DENSE
than liquid water, so it
FLOATS!
Otherwise, all frozen ice on oceans would have sunk
to the bottom of the seas and would never have had
seasonal melt...which would result in a
FROZEN WORLD.

MUSINGS
"A good man who thinks he's right and keeps on a-comin
is hard to bring down."
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious
triumphs, even though checkered with failure, than
to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy
much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey
twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Nuts to quick draws, have it in your hand.
