Now the awakened crew got to be explorers!
First thing to do was set up their quarters.
A nearby tract of open land was located
With their mega-printer, huts were created.

From robot scouts, air and land were known,
But probes couldn't tell, was anyone home?
Advance reviews were great, just lacking --
Were there natives for their contacting?

A few went with Tom to explore the land,
Visor cams on their hats, tasers in hand.
Unnoticed silent companions all around --
Wiggly fingers coming out of the ground!

(To be continued!)

Eeww! Ominous ending. I want to know what happens next, but pretty sure it won't be good. (P.S. This is a very earthlike planet; are we sure they really traveled?)

The jumble was easy enough, with the clues pretty much unscrambling themselves. And once the second word of the solution was clear, the first word was obvious as well. Kind of cute caption, and even more true.

I struggled yesterday . Even with BRIDGE I didn't get the second , obvious word . And I read the column every day. But....

I knocked off today's in a minute.

I was smart enough to put the vowels on top and consonants under

A little sci-fi from Owen . Trees interressant

Not to mention how they'd whoop & holler to welcome vaudeville and to greet music hall revues!

Wilbur, bless your French "trees"!
