:
On 06 and 07 May, the disappearance of several solar filaments resulted in a mass ejection which has been determined to contain an Earthward directed component. This coronal mass ejection is predicted to impact the Earth sometime during the mid to late UTC hours of 11 May. The mass is not thoughtto be travelling at a very high velocity. As a result, it will take longer for the cloud of material to pass through the Earth system. Forecasters estimate the duration of this disturbance may be in the neighborhood of about 36 to 48 hours, commencing sometime on 11 May.

The northern tier of U.S. states may observe sky strobe activity, as well as extreme northern regions of Europe and Russia. New Zealanders as well as observers in extreme southeastern parts of Australia may also spot periods of slow sky strobing activity. Good luck.

On the plane:
Pretzels. Pretzels and orange juice. A small paper coaster. Lots of things to do. Flick through radio channels. Discover that sound is louder in left ear of headphones than right ear of headphones. Glance through dog-eared in-flight magazine. Examine detailed diagrams of airports you are unlikely to visit. Look through duty free magazine. Scoff at contents. Place back in elasticated seat pocket. Remove again three hours later. Decide to buy at least two items. Wonder when it will be dinner time. Beef or chicken? Chicken please. Burst open cutlery packet. Immediately drop knife. Blindly grope around floor looking for said item. Jab neck on tray table. Drop fork. Lose appetite. Pick at chicken. Prod dessert. Attempt to close lid on food box. Contents of food box have expanded by 50%. Look forlornly at vast amount of food in lap and all over seat. Smile at air hostess in hope that she will take out-sized food box away. Replace tray table. Join two hour queue for bathroom. Settle down to watch in-flight movie. Neighbor puts on 100 watt reading light. Can’t hear movie dialogue, but music ear-splittingly loud. Tire of movie. Listen to country music channel. Realize what you are doing. Switch off country music channel. Fall asleep.

Decoy:
In Africa now, he's with a guy who's father found Hemmingway's crashed plane, from when he told the pilot to fly lower and lower over this waterfall and they crashed. He's showing his scars from when he got shot by poacher's. They got stranded in the wilderness for days and had to ration the whiskey. This is really cool. Of course, you can read all this by Hemmingway's pen. I'll stop now.
(Thu May 11, 2000 - 9:34:08 pm)

Myk Murphy:
