I'm still fiddling with what to say...who knows, by next week there may even have been a Medieval Warm Period! Given the prices of booze here, I can wipe out my S. African debt in a couple of beers.... Cheers Ray At 10:29 AM 8/24/2004, you wrote: >Ray >hi - have not prepared a presentation - just back from Aldeburgh .
