And I thought its was tough to market a physics degree! :biggrin:

Edit: Really this isn't such a surprise, in a way. I found that in Peru and neighboring countries, a belief in UFOs and ET is the norm. Having long been a part of their cultures, this is not lost on modern times, as are many tradtional beliefs.

The locals told me that one only needs worry when the shaking stops; ie. lots of little quakes are good. The point is of course that this suggests the potential for earthquake lights, Earth lights and the like, whatever those are. :biggrin:

The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
