Hello AJ, I hit a wrong key in my original message and said "While there were clouds before the sky was dark sky they seemed to mostly dissipated as duck fell." I meant dusk. Dan Heim replied "Venus setting was diffused ... like looking through fog and definitely orange tinted. One other small problem was those falling ducks. They were all over the place." So don't worry about the ducks, just my typos! :-) Jeff At 16:24 -0700 05/13/2007, AJ Crayon wrote: >Jeff, OK I'll byte. What do you mean by "ducks falling?"
