Oh yes. Thanks for reminding us about Guide, Roy, I’ve been meaning to order it. Several of my on-line astro-geek friends use it. I guess what I didn’t get around to saying last time is that

That is very philosophical and funny!

your welcome Bird. The weather is not good for the next several days (what's new there?)

Thanks Ian I suspect that there will be more reports coming in the next weeks.
