On the other hand.  Two days before the big flood as the tropical storm kept 
coming and going some friends were going to close on their house in the 100 
year flood plain.  My suggestion was to wait and see if Allison did justice 
to the 100 year predictions.  they postponed the close two days and didnt 
have to suffer the consequences of the house flooding.....

there are I think three possible problems on the bird...either a crib death, 
a continuing problem from the "problem", or there is some software flugulty 
with the RUDAK "testing".  (I assume that the cooling system of the bird 
works with the thing spinning?)

If it is a continuing problem from "the problem" we are I think going to be 
lucky to hold on to the bird.

Are there "temporary crews" there?  I think that the expedition crews (what 
a joke) are all considered "permenant"...sorry a little humor.
