 A reread of the Uplift Storm trilogy would be good if we can seperate out

This would be good for my monomaniacal timeline project. I am almost
close to placing a calendar date in each Chapter of the Uplift Storm 
Trilogy :-)

 How far will it get through thick fog?  I mean the sort of fog that
 makes you wish you hand't had a meeting away from home that evening
 because you're crawling along at 15 mph because if you go much 
 faster,
 you might not see the edge of the road before you start to go off, 
 and
 you're taking the turns around 5 to make sure you don't end up in 
 one
 of the deep ditches on either side of the road you're turning on to.

Cool!  Have you ever worked with/met any Lockheed people working on the JCM
(Joint Common Missile) program?  They do testing up at Redstone fairly
often.  I don't work on JCM myself, but I work with some of those guys
regularly.  Last fall I also worked with a helicopter crew from RTTC, which
I think is based out of Redstone.  And I just met a guy from RDEC who came
down here to Orlando to talk about some radar work he's doing up there.

Do you use CSF for your simulation?  I've used that here - I think it's a
great tool.

Cheers,

So would now be a good time to ask if anyone's interested in doing  a 
chapter-by-chapter group read-through and analysis of one of The  Good

Doc's (recent) books? Or a book by one of the other Killer B's, or
any of the other folks mentioned in this list's FAQ?



I wouldn't mind, that would be fun, but I cannot organize it.



...and all my Brin is 12,500 miles away...


So that's me and Charlie that can't organize it.  :)  Anyone?


I nominate Reggie - it was his idea after all...
