I dragged the girlfriend out to see the Mima Mounds this morning. We trudged through the rain, delighting in the sounds of unadulterated Nature: chirrups, rustling branches, distant gunfire.
The formation of the mounds in question is a mystery. Gophers, long-since vanished, are suspect, as are geological phenomena, weathering and erosion, and aliens.
I suggested to the GF that perhaps the Earth was once a giant basketball to the gods; the Mima Mounds, much like other similar locations, are the remnants of the "nubbins" (her word). This may lead to a plethora of unanswered questions--but it would explain why the Moon looks like someone stamped "Top Flite" on the dark side.
