Something significant was supposed to occur today (JULY 7th) with regard to the sunspot activity........

Has anyone heard anything (other than the Michael Jackson funeral)? I have been searching.but have found nothing. Guess we shouldn't expect any of the "talking heads" of the mainstream media do a piece on it. huh?

That was great.
Thanks for posting. Just wish we could get some follow up. Don't expect the "talking heads" of mainstream media to do any commentary on it...........

They are too busy with the really important stuff.

Keep us posted.
