Richard,

Five more to go and the Desert Shield rats can avoid being lost for all
24 hours. Yes, and then we don't have to buy a $30K rubidium standard to
hold the GPS-synchronized clocks when all the satellites are over the
horizon. You can tell I'm a real fan. The generals told me (really) they
expected 24 satellites, but I understand they will only get 21. On another
occasion I will tell you when and why they told me that.
