Patrick -
I had just gotten back from a day in Tucson.  The heat must have gotten
to me ;-)
While I was there I read an article in Time Magazine.  Apparently they
now "know" how the universe will end ("not with a bang, but with a
whimper").  They arrived at this decision just because of argumentative
folk who strongly disagreed with each other - which immediately reminded
me of the give and take on Leps-L.
Not that any great discoveries will be made, nor probably will any minds
be changed - but who knows?
Our "second Spring" has arrived in southeastern Arizona.  It should be a
good one for those of you who like insects.
Cheers!
