Blog Blues (also about the properties of water)

It has occurred to me that I may not be the only one scrambling to type two or three or more blogs today. This is no one's fault, the blame rest on me alone but I wonder at the amusing possibilities that I have avoided by doing these blogs. The dread and anxiety that I could have curbed if only I had been more resourceful or the high-minded topics I would have espoused if only I had the impetus, speaking of astronomy and physical laws and their implications. I should start now, yes, Earth is the third planet from the Sun and its sufficiently heated for water to be in liquid form which gives it its life-giving properties. The charges of the individual atoms of water gives it the surface tension it needs to have the capillary effect, the specific heat capacity to not freeze or evaporate too readily and bring things into solution. Really, the chemical properties are emergent properties of the underlying physics. I guess that's all I came up with for now.
