DARN - it's Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plucking (glaciation)
From Wikipedia,
Zone of plucking in the formation of tarns and cirques.Glacial plucking exploits pre-existing fractures in the bedrock. This plays a key role in opening and creating new fractures but has only provided small segments of loose material. This is then followed by the entrainment of the loosened rock by the ice. During the process of entrainment, loose rock material is frozen onto the base of the glacier and incorporated into the glacial ice. It is significant when the bedrock is highly jointed, as this allows meltwater to penetrate. Plucking is also known as quarrying.
As the valley glacier moves down the valley there is friction with the rock floor. This causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt (which helps lubricate the movement of the glacier)and infiltrate joints in the bedrock where it then freezes. As the glacier moves on, the rock now bonded to the glacier, is plucked from the floor into the base of the glacier and carried with it.

The BEAgle is said to be fast of the heels of the crew when the deckhands shouted "Bale Out", grabbing the nearest collinder from the galley due to being three sheets to the wind.
(Sheets.... I said sheets!)
CJ is thought to be wishing to visit Bali to tan up for the A2K Californ-I-Am Calendar.
Blah.
