Agreed. And, fwiw, my wife's devotion to being a great RN is similarly inspirational to me.

I'd be intrigued to hear someone like yourself discuss the general topic of how much more we think we have yet to learn about weather before we can get to a place where we can actually control it to some degree... I've often thought it is a discipline that belongs under the Defense dept, because to the degree you can control weather, that has obvious implications to the nation's military success. But it probably belongs in a different thread, and probably a different forum altogether. IM me, though, if you post something somewhere so I can track it down.

Did anyone get fired for the insufficient warning that resulted in the tragic loss of Gilligan?
