    I did indeed make a mistake -- I pulled the alleged 
    elset ages from the wrong column!  The elsets I used 
    were three weeks old, not five days.  Rest assured that
    I am not privy to orbital elements not available to 
    everyone else!
    
    USA 129 non-obs:  I tried to see it at the predicted 
    time using the actual elements and at two times using 
    Ted's hypothetical elsets, but I didn't see it.  However, 
    the passes were marginal, and I was using handheld 
    binoculars in the middle of town, and the sky was not 
    great, although it wasn't too bad and did improve as the 
    evening progressed.
