close to all our hearts, I think. A friend pointed it out to me. The website 
below has picked Jules Verne as its "hero of the day." Actually, I suppose by 
the time most of you read this they'll have a new "hero of the day" and you'll 
have to look it up under "Previous Heroes of the Day."

My calendar shows the 4th of April to be a Tuesday. I would rather put
up submissions to the web site as they come in up to the 4th. With all
submissions in on the 4th. Then on on Thursday, 6 April Pat can do his
judging.

JPG or GIF are fine.

The prize is being proclaimed the best Nautilus artist on the PSUBS web site.
What better honor would you want?   :)
