VIEW OUT OF THE WINDOW , ALASKA, USA . ... Today as I look out I see the trees bending ever so slightly in a very mild wind, as though the Birch Trees are saying hello to the Evergreen trees. ... We have just enough snow too cover the grass, and in some places bare ground is visible. ... I see a little flock of snowbirds eating seeds that have falled on the ground. I am amazing at what I see, because 36 years that I have lived in Alaska, I have never seen such warm winter with so little snow. ...

CLEAN Map ps -- is a plot of the naturally weighted CLEAN image. The lowest contour levels (2 steps) on image is plotted at "clev" levels [Jy/beam], the peak brightness -- "max" values [Jy/beam]. The dashed contours indicate negative flux. The beam is shown in the bottom left corner of the images. The plot is in postscript format.
