So .. What did the Terminal Siphons do? They play the campground party Wednesday night. Was there a shelter or a building? Their home-bound sax player wants to know... -Vivian Loftin -------------- Original message from dirt...@comcast.net: --------------
Mark Minton's weather report is accurate, of course. Nut don't forget to keep things in perspective. Remenber the two South Dakota conventions? In the first the tornado (really!) went through the campground ripping tree limbs and in the second lightening actuallys struck in the campground at Sheldon's. The downburst in Marengo (although Mark, in the wet of the moment, thinks this year "rivaled" it). And need I even remark about Tularosa. We DO have a history ---. Anyhow, there is one day left and Friday dawns bright, almost cloudless. But the convention is not over! The full-fledged hurrican appears avoided. DirtDoc PS - we had a wonderful rundown on the 2009 ICS in Kerrville at the photo salon last night. The convention of a lifetime!! It should not to be missed! Start planning to attend NOW! Oh - and if you want to present a paper, also start planning NOW. Deadlines (check the web site) for abstract submission for CONSIDERATION (more papers will be offered than can be accomodated) is, I think, around Christmas. That applies to all papers - exploration, techniques, etc. You are competing with the rest of the world to be heard next year. Different rules for the International. That is one of the reasons it will be so great.
