You've got that right! On Saturday at 8 PM Eastern on CNBC cable they are
re-running a National Geographic Explorer program titled, _In Cold Blood;
Thunder Dragons; Crocodile Man._. There's some fabulous footage of monitors
including some underwater shots I especially enjoyed. The Croc Man isn't
Steve but rather a fellow working in India. Interesting shots of mugger
crocodiles, gavials, and a very distinctive saltwater. This one's worth a
tape. Dan Varner.
