Hi Chris, Cap'n Blood, and List,

I was already on my way to bed because it is after midnight here.
Michael, I sent the attachment to Chris, not to the List, of course.
You will remember that attachments are a "no-no". Yes, Pauline
and I are o.k. Thank you for asking!

Well, back now to the statistics of the hourly variation of observed
meteorite falls: This diagram can also be interpreted as reflecting
the number of people out in the open ... the more people there are
the more meteorite falls may be observed. There won't be many
people in the streets, on the fields, etc. around midnight. So fewer
observed meteorite falls at 24 hrs than in the ealy afternoon when
many more people are out in the open and become eye witnesses
of falls and the accompanying phenomena!

Good night, ... almost falling asleep

Bernd
