Count on it. El Nino is back! I read a report on El Nino and found it is erratic. Sometimes it lasts for year after year and sometimes it stays away for years. It affects weather world-wide, however. There is absolutely no reason for it to end once it starts (due to a small island off Indonesia), but it does. The mechanism is both known and uncontrollable (without blasting the island out of existence). - -- Robert Black Eagle One gets wise only after being stupid. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE98WVTtjSYKkYJrmcRAjTCAJ4popbhXvQG6sFEA0kbGrgAVtkzWQCggzh/ 8gPKTKhdRaAR3ime1qwaFao= =siTR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
