The Bos gets religion?

Oh, lordy, bring me my salts. I do feel the vapours coming on. You could have knocked the Tusk over with a feather at the Apple Store yesterday when my phone linked to the The Bos in the Washington Post, presenting at 2018 AGU, and pimping to the world: The Taurids are a threat! The Taurids are a threat! …the Moon will be new on July 3 and will not interfere significantly with such…

I just heard the Napier pap(i)er providing an astronomical context for the YD event can be had on the public access site here: Cornell University Library.  I plugged in my name and am waiting for the verification code to be sent by email.
