Hi all - 

Thanks for the note on how to retrieve "fall" 
information, Eduardo. 1261 still seems too low to
detect fall intervals, but who knows - 

With Google putting news for the last several hundred
years online, perhaps the number of descending
aereolites identified will increase - another thing -
the number of R.F.S. on the market with "stories" may
increase as well - a little sizzle for the steak, so
to speak - and then there's newly identified hunting
opportunities

good hunting, 
Ed
