One might want to take their observing report with a somewhat larger-than-usual grain of salt, then, especially if they report seeing something like pastel pachyderms . . . >My wife and I may be taking a little romantic drive out into the >country late tonight to take a look. It should be lots of fun. If you noted the time on my previous message you might have guessed that I had been outside for a brief look.
