You might want to rethink that request. The last time it popped a big one
pointed at us even 6 AU was deader than a door nail durring the peak. The
absorbption was so high nothing was working long haul and that was nothing
like the class X-17 of last week. They figure had that one been pointed at
us even the power grids would have been going down. Remember Quebeck some
years back?
