Re: [Utah-astronomy] SPOC on channel 4
If someone recorded this, maybe they could bring it in for a replay at the next SLAS meeting. It might be worth a laugh. - Canopus56 (Kurt) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage. Learn more. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250

Sure. Astrologers sit in warm, cozy rooms making money from those who don't know any better. Astronomers freeze through long nights gathering data for the advancement of human knowlege and sweat through long, frustrating days trying to find where their next few funding dollars are coming from.

OK - I'll confess - for my wife, Teddi. When we heard Ruth Todd on the 10:00 news say, "Salt Lake Astrological Society," Teddi went ballistic. I'm used to it, of course, so I just smiled. Teddi, however, wanted to set the record straight and called Channel 4. It was big of them to make the correction. Kim

I'm with you Kim. I just grinned. Reminded me of when channel 5 covered Holly's and my wedding and the announcer described Holly as an amateur astrologer. BTW, I understand Teddi was not the only one to call the station. Someone else on this list (you know who you are) reports he called and corrected them. And, yes, it was nice of them to run the correction. Patrick
