Dear Colleagues,

Although Northern California is in the throes of the worst El Nino can dish
out, it has been decided (after a certain amount of discussion, to be sure)
to go ahead with the Berkeley meeting of the Pacific Northwest Geometry
seminar tomorrow, February 7. Earlier this week the rain was so heavy that
ground traffic in the Bay area was virtually nonexistent (because of it
Stanford had to close), and at first the weather reports were that we were
in for more of the same this weekend. At present however, we are getting
more wind than rain, and the predictions have mollified some. Indeed air
schedules show no delays as of yet.

So, come to Berkeley as planned; and let's hope for the best.

Regards,



Hugo Rossi
