4 January 2008... 11:21 AM PST.
It has just come t' me attention, havin' just been inform'd by th' USCG, Newport, OR; that th' Buoy 46050, 44.62N x124.53W (that ay've been takin' me readin's from), has been offline... "for about a month" now.

(no wond'r th' readin's have been "amazin'ly similar", fer th' past 4-5 days... d'oh!)

ay have been instruc't t' use readin's from another buoy (altho' as abbriviat'd as th' readin's may be), until 46050 can (hopefully) get back online this Spring.
