Re: [APML] A sad Time best picture

Hi Mike:
I don't get Time, but I hope that anyone on this list who does will write a
letter to them pointing out (in restrained language, of course) that they
got fooled by some one who doesn't know what he/she is doing and they have
been made to look like dummies. Maybe put in a URL to someone's site with
real Perseids or Leonids.
