Tommie, you are as curious as anyone as to what's "out there" and passionate in your belief of issues, political. It's great seeing your versatility! You crack me up! Versatility? Hmmm? I just have difficulty understanding how one can have such a healthy curiosity and be so broad minded regarding scientific inquiry and yet, weekly, write like a dogmatic scold regarding history, politics, and religion. Liberal about the heavens; intolerant about matters earthly. L'Chayim ========Original Message======== Subj: [AsburyPark] Re: Geminid Meteor Shower Wednesday Night Date: 12/13/2006 6:45:33 P.M.

I actually know Arno Penzias, the co-discoverer of the Theory. Joined him and his staff for champagne, celebrating the announcement of his winning, the Nobel Peace Prize, as an astrophysicist, up at the Crawford Hill Labs, where Telstar, bounced the first known signal from space. I was in Holmdel at the time, working on PBX Systems. Tommie, you are as curious as anyone as to what's "out there" and passionate in your belief of issues, political. It's great seeing your versatility! You crack me up! Reading your latest article in the TCN. Had brunch at Perkins and picked up a copy.
