"...the transit of Venus on this upcoming June 6, the likes of which no
living primate will likely recall when the next opportunity shadows earth,
nor who can recall the last one!"
Doug,
While you're most certainly correct that none amongst us will see the next
one (in 2117), I'm actually old enough to remember the transit of Venus in
2004. ;^) They come in pairs 8 years apart, separated by 105 years. I hope
we're all still here in June, to observe this one. One never knows...
Best wishes to all,
Linton

"Maybe the Mayans were right, and 2012 will see us go out in a blaze of
meteorite impacts!"
Hi Ed, List;
Poor Mayans, haven't they suffered enough at the hands of multiple
opressors to now be attributed this kooky modern rage. As the most
scientifically advanced society in the world of that age, countless
unnamed brilliant Mayan scientists and astronomers that 2012 is most
sacred because of the transit of Venus on this upcoming June 6, the likes
of which no living primate will likely recall when the next opportunity
shadows earth, nor who can recall the last one!.
They don't make calendars like they used to... Last year my free bank
calendar ended in December 2011, but my insurance agent's company was so
kind to save the world by giving me a complimentary 2012 calendar to read,
buying more time before the whole thing goes *poop* the same way it
apparently began ;-)
Kindest wishes
Doug
