Dear John; I'm more inclined to watch for "mega event" that would happen IN THE EVENING OF 11/7/06 on "ELECT" day. I live in up-state N.Y.,when it is 12:00am 11/8/06 in Israel, it will be 5:00 pm 11/7/06 in N.Y. www.worldtimeserver.com. Be ready on Evening of  ELECT-DAY!! ASTEROID POSSIBLE? yes; Gary Rich N.Y.C. would be destroyed. Louis
