As mentioned, the electricity in our area was off, and I was running the computer on battery with a WiFi hotspot, compliments of Telcel. This obviously wasn't working very well, so we concluded our meeting until next week, where we'll pick up where we left off, plus latest SciTechNature news.

...So, see you next Tuesday.

SMA Rotary Club rests upon a foundation of compassion and science, so it too gets a heads up from SciTechNature.
