I did a program at Bryce Canyon last evening and while en-route to Bryce yesterday I stopped for lunch in Beaver. When I came out of the restaurant I saw this U-Haul truck in the lot: http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/UHAUL.JPG I checked their website and saw that they really do have a page on astronomy. On the way home this morning I listened to that Coast-To-Coast show that Steve mentioned here recently. The guest was Erich Von Daniken and one of the things he was talking about was 2012. I'm sure you'll all be relieved to hear that he says 23 December 2012 will not bring the end of the world. Rather he said that's when the aliens will return (I'm guessing they'll be coming to deliver a new calendar to the Mayans and to pick up Dave and take him home <g>). patrick BTW, the weather was spectacular at Bryce. Crystal clear skies, no wind, great seeing. Coming home to clouds and rain was a real let down...
