didn't see all the alerts about it. Oh well! To be fair, there was a day or two gap before people realized that it was a fake, so it probably just missed their publication deadline. I hoped you are managing OK without your ass, they are friendly animals. Derek aa5bt |

I guess the staff has not seen too many sat photos !
The time was wrong, and there are many photos from space sats, apollo or shuttle archives that show the usa during power outages that are genuine and the states blacked out are visible from space.
