Thank you very much Matthias and Doug. In fact it was much too cold to be out last night. About the time that meteor was seen, the temperature was 7 degrees Farenheit, about minus 15 centigrades. So I didn't even see it.
But thank you for your very funny post. Anne M. Black _http://www.impactika.com/_ (http://www.impactika.com/) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) Vice-President, I.M.C.A.
