Re: (meteorobs) Observation Report 1/31/00|1/32/00



Hi Scott,
    I would agree with Mark here, however, I would
modify it just a touch farther and put: 1/31/00 -
2/1/00 to avoid any confusion!  Otherwise, your report
was very well done!  To further complicate matters, if
you live in Europe, the convention is to put day
first, and month second!  To the Europeans, your date
would read: 31/1/00 - 1/2/00!!  All part of the fun of
living on different continents AND the "cusp" of two
millenia!  Keep up the good work!  Paul in Sicily
