Guys:



Just hope that we do not have another Dalton or  Maunder Minimum.  The
Maunder minimum is the name given to a period of  extreme solar inactivity
that occurred between 1645 and 1710.  The  Dalton Minimum was a period of 
low
solar activity lasting from about 1790  to 1830.  It is also interesting 
that
during both these periods there  was a time of global cooling and a "Mini 
Ice
Age".  I was informed by  N5OHL that we had one sunspot appear today.



73,
