I guess that technically glaciers flow. I don't think they are very gentle though.

(It's hard to understand how it could be gently flowing if it wasn't liquid, but that's an issue for the Department of Redundancy Dept.) -- Joe _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com

Joe, I'm not an expert on cleaning lenses but wouldn't a hairdryer blow some of the dust off? I would use a low setting to do this. Guys, is this a safe method? I know some people use a hairdryer for dealing with dew. Debbie

Any list members notice a degradation in their eyesight once they started using a computer regularly? If you have been using one regularly for more than 10 years, please do not reply. This is really OT, so reply off-list if you have a tale to tell me, or can cite reliable published research. Thanks C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Check out this eBay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3807390319&category=58&s… Kroll was one of von Braun's assistants. I love the inscription on the photo. Wonder if they painted the same message on the rocket's nose, for the benefit of Londoners? ;) C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I don't get the news either. I think that they changed it so that Lee is supposed to be sending it to me. I haven't seen it in ages.

How does one prevent this from happening? -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Hards [mailto:chuckhards@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2004 11:08 AM To: Utah-Astro Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Spam I've received several spam messages lately, all ostensibly from list members, yet obviously the account was pirated. You may want to make sure your email address hasn't been co-opted for unethical advertising. C. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
