I was trying to point out with a smirk that observing Mir was once a fairly ordinary thing to do and it was possible to overdo "I saw Mir." "I saw Mir" has new meaning with Mir in chaos because you just don't know what you'll see and we'd all like to hear about it. Guess what my family and I did? We grabbed our lawn chairs, sat out in the warm evening air, and We Saw Mir. Pass was at 0430 UT on Aug 19 rising out of the west with a massive glint near alpha Canes Venatici. __________________________________________________ Jim Varney 121.398W 38.458N 8m Sacramento, CA jamesv@softcom.net, sat_watcher@rocketmail.com Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't. -- Erica Jong _____________________________________________________________________ Sent by RocketMail.
