I've been off on vacations
and now it's my time to read all that happened to our brave rovers during this period. Not too much, it looks, and I'm glad to know that they are in good shape.

So now the question would be, once this storm's abated, do the Opportunity planners take a dip into Victoria, with the risk of getting caught somewhere less pleasant towards the end of a potential 50-60 day window, or sit still for two months with at least the potential for no more bad weather (is storm #2 chance or certainty?) and the risks that accompany an aging rover?
Assuming no damage is detected as a result of this down-period, I have only two concerns for Opportunity:
1) Dust deposition on the solar arrays
2) I think we are still weeks from seeing her taking a dip into Duck Bay and the local season won't be the best one.
OT:

Well - I think it is - what's the actual file name of any one of the three files involved? Somewhere out there ( and I can't find it now..grrr) is a website where you drop the file name in and it converts it to the information for you. That - or using MMB - will tell you when the image was taken.
I use "rawid" (google for it) to extract the timestamps and other data from the filenames. But to make the things more convenient, I have a "rawid.bat" on my desktop containing just:
@rawid %1
@pause
You simply have to drop an image file on it and, voila, the results pop-up on a separate window.
