Hi Van,

I think GEM has one posted one the front page. I have one which I can email to you.

Thanks. Nice group [28]? Excellent.

Van,

I think I had counted at least 30 - there were some of GEM's junior students who may have slipped out early.

Yesterday I talked to a former team member in midwest who was freezing his [REDACTED] off while shoveling.

Given the mixed company on this forum and proper decorum I shall simply say that he expressed in Navy argot his, shall we say, extreme disbelief in the "Global Warming HOAX" being perpetuated, where the 'global warming' is deliberately used sloppily to indict humanity and especially America's prosperity for seasonal, latitudinal temperature and meteorological fluctuations resulting from solar magnetic activity. He 'referenced an article of the active volcano under the Antarctic that has been active for hundreds of years and is causing melting.

The connection became bad so I was not sure of his full condemnation of Al Gore and similar 'frauds' but I did pick up something that sounded like " ... fluctuation(?)" or something to that effect. [grin +++++++]
