Ah crap, I go away for a few days, get a new boat, (well new for me) and
theres's 862 unread
messages; I'm wondering how many are worth expending my time to read?

none of mine.

Anybody else get up early enough to watch the Venus transit this AM?

My wife rousted me at 6AM. I used binoculars to project an image and I would
swear that I saw an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie dot on the Sun. That's my story
and I'm sticking to it!
