Just heard from Tiffany Clarici that Jim Johnson passed away
several days ago. Jim was a huge contributor to the OSHITs,
BusterCluster, Holy Sprite and many of the elements that made this
list the most generous collection of people imaginable for so many
years. Godspeed, Jim, and may all of your weather forecasts will be
100% spot-on.&nbsp;<br><br><div dir=3D"ltr">Ron Soave</div>
