So my mailbox always has something for me to analyze.<BR/><BR/>Monarch- There will more eclipses to watch. The next is in February I think. But it may be cloudy then.<BR/><BR/>Cathy- An astronomer in the family.. how interesting. I think those of us who live in the city have lost touch with the stars. Me, a young 'un?

I never did like 'practical jokes' - always seemed mean-spirited to me.<BR/><BR/>I guess this is the one area where I'm protected. My kid is an astronomer. Sometimes I think his scientific training has made him a bit too skeptical.<BR/><BR/>I'm like Monarch - too danged lazy to get out of bed.

I was amazed when it showed up in my e-mail box again this summer. <BR/>It's unfortunate so much of these types of false stories are going around--especially when so many people believe what they read on the internet.... <BR/>I'm skeptical of all stories anymore--except for what I read in blogs! ;-)RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-25642214320319327602007-08-29T09:10:00.000-04:002007-08-29T09:10:00.000-04:00I pretty much consider most of my e-mails to be a ...I pretty much consider most of my e-mails to be a hoax and delete them quickly.
