'fraid not. 'tis the season of thunderstorms. This area is far enough north (Lat 27 S to Lat 28 30 S) to get regular tropical incursions, which create roving thunderstorms, so when they're around, the 1% RH goes up to 70%. That means you can get appallingly bogged in fine fine loose dusty sand and stuck there to be hit by a local thunderstorm which makes the sand driveable but wipes out all movement on the clay flats...or one gets stuck by floods coming in from the northeast. Makes for interesting times. Sounds like you need Jax riding shotgun. |

Don't you have your own orgone generator? Geez Gilligan, I didn't even KNOW about such things until the other day when I found the Cloudbusting video clip on youtube and decided to find out what the hell it was all about...for this abysmal lacuna in my knowledge I blame my parents, my teachers, the government, the USA, Encyclopedia Britannica, my peers, my co-workers, my supervisors, the medical profession, all lawyers, McCarthy, you, my classmates, alt.sailing.asa, the scientific establishment, Immanuel Velikovsky, Freud, OMG, P&O, and the authors of the AUstralian constitution. -- Flying Tadpole ---------------------------------- www.flyingtadpole.com |

In my office is a small NOAA receiver. It's been there for a few months now. I saw an orange light emanating from it yesterday which I've never seen before. Upon further inspection I saw the words "tornado watch" So I watched, notified a few people, security types, safety types, and watched some more. Scout |

Afterall, they are the ones who've made you feel inadequate! Scout |
