not yet anyway - Lizzie is most probably going to go to Yale for a few months to work on what's up with the Sun... Maunder minimum time...

I see you are a convert Sam.     His grandson used to give talks to the FAS.

I'm a convert in that the Sun is interesting, not in that the dirty humans aren't also f***ing up the place.

[Clive]

It must have been the early 90's Sam.  He was Michael Maunder of Speedybrews and he used the talk to flog his film processing chemicals.  It was absolutely blatant.
