[HSF] Happy New Year from India (UTC +5.30 Hrs), South Africa,

[Michael Firstenberg]

thank you - I knew I could count on you..... I live in downtown  
Columbus, Ohio - rare that I see the stars......

Used to spend my summers in New Hampshire....... saw the Northern  
lights a few time....... wow.

Went on a trip to Inner Mongola a few years back...... stayed in a  
hut, 1000 miles from nowhere.....  the stars, the Milky Way.....  
stunning, no breathless.....

.... that is why I dont watch TV.... (I went 6 years without one and  
only recently bought one for watching DVDs)
