I like this quote as is was also heard on the Nights number #1 Talk show Coast to Coast AM 550 'It's a strange sight to see. Nearly two dozen endangered brown pelicans have crashed onto sidewalks and roads, mistaking the heat-induced shimmer of the paved surface for lakes and creeks. Game and Fish says the birds 'try to land on the water, but it's asphalt,' then it's Bam! The pelicans have been found from Yuma to Phoenix. Most have been located in southern Arizona, where they've landed while flying out of Mexico's Gulf of California. So far, the pelicans have been treated mostly for dehydration and emaciation.' ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 10:58 AM Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Magnetic Pole Reversal & Sunspot 652 > > Here's a link I found interesting regarding the reversing of our magnetic pole. I wonder if the GPS manufacturers are preparing for a unit that points south? :O Satellites over the South Atlantic have already experienced problems from the 15% magnetic field deterioration that we already have. There's also recent reports from around the world where entire flocks of homing pigeons have disappeared during races. > > http://www.earthfiles.com/news/news.cfm?ID=751&category=Science > > Here's another link discussing "Sunspot 652." This Sunspot has grown to 20 times the size of earth since Friday, and is pointing directly towards earth. NASA is worried and said: "If the active region generates coronal mass ejections (CMEs), massive explosions with a potential force of a billion megaton bombs, it will be a fairly direct hit to Earth and its Satellites and power grids." > > http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/hugesunspots_040723.html > > Rand (RandMan) > > ____________________________________________________________ > Az-Geocaching mailing list listserv@azgeocaching.com > To edit your setting, subscribe or unsubscribe visit: > http://listserv.azgeocaching.com/mailman/listinfo/az-geocaching > > Arizona's Geocaching Resource > http://www.azgeocaching.com
