Re: (meteorobs) "Sensing" Hale-Bopp?



Thomas,

You asked:

My senses are no better than yours, Thomas, I just perhaps pay closer
atention to sound, touch, and smell than most people do.  As far as any
other "senses" are concerned, I would not make a very good spiritualist or
mystic.  Sunlight has many indirect indicators, and I know when the moon is
full or gibbous, but that is about the extent of my abilities.

Take care,
