Sorry to disappoint, but it is of course just plain ornery **** dust from passing traffic, but if it has little green Men in the mix then it is for sure Space dust. Did you know so called Space dust is sexist & only little green blokes are affected. As for the colour, that figures, if they have been living in one's veggie patch. If they were little Brown Men it would mean you haven't been watering properly.

Chess is with out a doubt in my small mind the best game ever. I can spend hours considering options so it is also a huge time waster if not time limited. Speed chess rocks
