>> Hello:
>> I am going to be on KQEDâ??s Forum program again with Michael Krasny on 
>> November 23rd, the 10 AM time slot. I have known Michael since 1988 when he 
>> was on KGOâ??AM Radio from 9 to 11 PM. Believe me that was a very different 
>> listening audience. Michael is a wonderfully engaging man and a very quick 
>> study; we always have a good time. Tune in. I will remind you again next 
>> week.
>> I have my annual BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS trips coming up and there are just a few 
>> spaces open. See the website for details.  November 30 to December 1 has two 
>> 
>> openings. December 2 to 3 has four openings. December 4 and 5 has five 
>> openings. You register on the website (see link below) but I take 
>> registration in the order I received the checks via US mail. At the end of 
>> this missive are a few photographs from previous trips up in the Northern 
>> Sacramento Valley. This is a trip that I have done every winter since 1981! 
>> It remains a favorite.

>> I have a link now to some photographs that were taken by the â??officialâ?? 
>> photographer for the Hubbub Marching Band that played at Halloween in our 
>> neighborhood. Edward Lynch took some mighty fine photographs that really 
>> captured the spirit of Halloween  that night. Amazing.

>> Last week was Sagan's 70th birthday. Here are some of his most eloquent

>> will seek the Energy and Commerce Committee chairmanship, maintains that we 
>> do not have to worry about climate change because God promised in the Bible 
>> not to destroy the world again after Noahâ??s flood.     I feel so much 
>> better
