RE: [Utah-astronomy] Pictures on KSL
Jim, I hope you don't mind a little teasing... You really should have said, "Here are our data."

Oh! and Kim - my fourth language is Utawese in which in some circles "the data is" would have gone by un-noticed. Obviously it didn't get by you.

Joe Finely something I could understand. Instead of saying "the data is" I should have said. "da kin stuff hemo da bugga" then I would have been gramaticly correct for Kim.
