Hi Carrie,
Happy to oblige. I understand that there was supposed to be quite a storm over the weekend (at least very high winds) so I lot of people were sitting things out. I think there was some expectation that the winds would blow the snow off the mountain. (Maybe we need some way to measure a wind/snow ratio to determine whether the wind or the snow will win).
In terms of ENews, they have made a big production about doing things the "proper" way. So they were not going to make any announcements before getting a go ahead from SI's family. Also, I am sure that they want to keep things quiet so that all sorts of rabble do not know where SI's resting place is. So even if they are on the right track, it is not clear when we could expect an announcement. And a lot of folks have their doubts that they are on the right track. In terms of the camera, there are a variety of claimants, not the least of which are the Chinese. So things could be dicey if there is an announcement while still in Tibet. So we will have to wait and see.
Lee, is that really you? It's great to hear from you if it is.
