A few blocks from David Brin's house, for those who don't know that.

Wierd subject for sure.
The guy who discovered the comet's companion (that started the 
groups flipout) was a local radio personality who I used to listen to 
every morning. Well...because I knew Chuck Schramek would have 
something wierd to say. He died of cancer a few years later and then I 
ended up discovering that the writer of one of my all time favorite 
books went to high school with him.

I think that comet (Hale-Bopp?) was the only comet I've ever seen 
naked eye.

And the story was spread [inter-?]nationally by another radio 
personality known for featuring weird topics . . .

Yupwho featured Schramek on his show a few times.

Too much wash from city lights here. But Hale-Bopp was plain and clear 
to see in spite of the brightness.
