Thanks, Brian! Interesting tid-bits.

One for the Boise? (Bet that will Ketchum!) It's not a coincidence that Hell's Canyon (deeper than the Grand Canyon) is in Idaho, along with the Bitterroots and the River of No Return Wilderness! Actually, wife and I did a coupla days tourism in Idaho in a former century and enjoyed it before heading into Utah.

>> Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
>>
>> The Question:
>> A weak isotope of this element is unique as it can be used to locate
>> brain
>>
>>
>> tumors as the isotope attaches to diseased tissue rather than healthy tissue. A compound of this element can be used as an electrolyte for low temp electric storage batteries for use in vehicles in the subarctic. The word "reddish". What element is being described?
>>
>> The Answer:
>>
>> The element is Rubidium (Rb)! Rubidium hydroxide (RbOH) can be used to etch glass and as an electrolyte for low temp electric storage batteries.
>> Rubidium was named for the Latin word "rubidus" which means "reddish". The spectrum line for Rb is a deep red color.
>>
>>
>> The winner of the weekly element quiz is Steve Gregory and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. Tom will have the boys flying out of Italy and on their way to see Steve asap. I didn't know the boys had relatives in that area of the world so we'll have to have Doug do some background research for the whole story. We know they have family in Crete and Finland.
>>

>> So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

>> Past Quiz winners/tasks:
>> Week 1 Dick Krug, Spartan Complex Systems Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC
>>
>> Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited

>> And Pat Goodyear, PGE
>> - This time the boys will get to do some REAL work, they each have scoop shovels and at present are shoveling piles of U-O2 pellets for refueling the cook pot. We are in the middle of a 60 day refuel outage so their help came at an opportune time, the majority of our contract crew left

>>
>> Week 4 Joe Russeau, Precision Analysts Laboratory
>> - assisted with running an ion chromatograph and see how adept they are at reviewing SIR data.
>>
>> Week 5 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
>> - The boys arrived and immediately ate pizza and drank 2 bottles of
>> my best wine. Then they got very excited and said something about

>> Well they got back last night and started to tell me some fantastic

>> Otranto-Santa Maria di Leuca e Bosco di Tricase. This is a regional
>> park of Puglia, Italy and of particular importance is the "hidden"

>> There are fortified farms all

I most go visit this place. Anyway the boys are now rested and ready for their next adventure. So much for helping me but I was very glad to see them and have some company.
