VLA proposal submitted !
VLA proposal submitted after a week frantically re-writing last year's version because I thought the deadline was 1st September, not 1st August. 16 hours of observing time and we should be finally able to determine if these dark hydrogen clouds are dark galaxies or just weird bits of fluff. Hopefully adding more authors and the two more papers published on this since last year will convince NRAO that this extremely modest amount of time is worth it. Second time lucky ! Time to relax by watching Robot Wars.

Woow! That´s great!
