T'wasn't me. I'm more likely to say we get one or two good ones every few decades. :) Actually, I'm nearly 60 and I can remember only 3 or maybe four comets that I consider to have been really good ones and a smattering of "ok" comets. But I keep hoping we'll have one "any day now". :) patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
