Austin was beyond brilliant and was a super nice guy.

I have a bunch of his charts, graphs and plottings of various attributes of chambers, chokes, etc. that I look at every so often and try to understand them.

Why he even plotted snowfall for three years in a row where he lived in northwestern NH. And he charted snowflakes too...

California certainly would prohibit anything that pollutes or causes cancer , except of course meth, cocaine, heroin, sewage on streets and garbage.

I wish Austin and I had crossed paths the one year that we were both working in Antarctica. He worked out of a camp run by a friend and I ran another a few hundred miles away. We likely were in McMurdo at the same time but, unfortunately, never met.

You would have liked him Richard. Austin was Phd. geophysicist and the consummate scientist.

Austin's skeet gun is a constant companion for me.

I will have it.

You southern boys better bring a sweatshirt . It’s 28 and breezy outside here in northern Minnesota. I am thinking about wading out and breaking ice out to the clear water and see if I can catch some walleye for supper.
