    I didn't bother to try looking. I have a happy snap on my phone of one I could
    send you. You wouldn't be able tell if I was looking east or west, If you've seen one then you seen 'em all. ;-)

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    A video of it could possibly tell me, but you're right.

    Ahmm, I cannot tell a lie. No, I didn't. I just did and slammed [Stop] after two seconds. It wasn't related to the eclipse. Well, I was honest when I said
    that I didn't bother with the actual event.

    Did I pass?

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Yes. Normally I don't post that stuff in BAMA, but since it was a US congressman asking an admiral one of the dumbest questions I ever heard, I thought it a little noteworthy. You have to watch it longer than the time you allotted and you'll see what I mean.

    Ah, yes. That congressman seems a 'special' expert on such matters, and particularly brave in his desire to explore extensive ramifications. It is a serious problem. You can't have a population just moving about on such a small
    area, especially not in mass movements. It's quite amazing that some similar disaster didn't develope there in the latter stages of WWII.

    The admiral did an excellent job. Perhaps he has extensive experience dealing with civilians in a certain five-sided building?

    The congressman may be on to something as I note with interest that the 'little
    rocket man' recently wanted to tip the scales with a nuke or two, too. Perhaps
    they share some insider knowledge (i.e. we aren't aware of)?

    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Thanks. I hope you didn't have a mouth full of anything at the time.

    Yeah.

    Had I been in the admiral's place, I would have lost my "cool" and asked the congressman from the great state of Georgia if he knew what he was talking about. More questions would have followed, but the admiral was there to answer
    questions, not ask any.

    Yes. The thing that surprised me the most was the lack of discussing swimming lessons.

    i would certainly have asked that congressman if he had a clue as to how islands are formed and if he knew that they do not float like blow-up pool floats you can lay on...

    Yes. Every once in a while I have to lighten the mood here during that time when my patience runs thin waiting on NASA articles. I assure you it is a rarity.

    What eclipse? Did you see one recently?

    the message you posted the guam capsizing link in said that everybody else had seen a/the lunar eclipse... i (and apparently others) figured the link was to the lunar eclipse that you didn't get to see...

    i didn't get to see it because of several factors... heavy storms and clouds in
    our area being one... the actual main factor, though, was that it was much too far east for us to see even if we did have good seeing...

    I began with that statement and digressed from there.

    It's usually overcast here when some heavenly event is taking place.
