[Chaos-l] Time to start thinking about the Perseids

[Robert Nielsen]

Jon,

Unfortunately, I will be out of town on the night of the 12th ... I could 
do it on the night of the 11th (and strangely enough, I don't have to get 
up early the next day ... so it works better for me).  I don't know if 
Thursday will work for anyone else, though.
