Here’s another example of the stunning swiftness of the federal agencies. In Sunday’s Fresno Bee there’s an article about contaminants in the water of many San Joaquin Valley wells, affecting a million people. From the article:
“The state is far ahead of the federal government in regulating TCP, which was discovered at a Superfund site in Southern California in the 1990s.
“But TCP has the attention of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which expects to have national regulations in the next four to five years. [emphasis mine]
“‘It is a carcinogen,’ said toxicologist Bruce Macler of the EPA drinking water program. ‘I'm more than just concerned.’”Aren’t we all!

Hi,Tom
Hope the telescope still works. I think the visibility down here is about minus minus. It's really pitiful. But we did get great views of Venus and Jupiter awhile back just using eyeball and binoculars. I hope I get to see the Milky way again--guess we will have to go to the desert for that.
