A Mt. Hood sign is partially covered by snow and ice near Parkdale, Ore.,
Wednesday, Dec. 20, 2006. Rescue teams gave up any hope of finding Brian Hall, 37, of Dallas, and Jerry 'Nikko' Cooke, 36,
of New York City alive on stormy Mount Hood and abandoned the frustrating, 9-day-old search Wednesday.

to remove climber Kelly James body a snow cave he had been staying in on Mount Hood, Ore., Monday Dec. 18, 2006. Results of an autopsy Wednesday show James, from Dallas,
Texas, died of hypothermia. Sheriff Joe Wampler said planes would be sent out to look for the two climbers who remain missing, but history and mountain experts suggest it might be
spring before Brian Hall of Dallas and Jerry "Nikko" Cooke of New York are found.

Mid December 2006, three climbers disappeared at Mount Hood, the snowy mountain in Oregon.
Those three climbers were Kelly James, Brian Hall, and Jerry "Nikko" Cooke. Later on the body of Kelly James was found
and the funeral took place on December 27, 2006.
It became like another reminder to me, because the word "snowy" in Indonesian is "bersalju"
with the syllable "sal" like in my brother's name "Faisal". Like reminding me with my concern that I prefer to let my self die
rather than to let others, including my brother, to die.

.......it takes dedication to wait patiently outdoors in the biting cold of a December night. At least you don't have to deal with biting mosquitoes.

The news about three planets in conjunction on December 10, 2006,
was also like reminding me about the possibility of "30", that might related with my
existence on this world, therefore I should be better move ot the eternity for the good of this world.
I did not put this in my previous letter of "Parade of Reminders
Around the End of 2006" because this sounds more like "outer space" matter.

December offers meteor shower and cluster of three planets
Published: 15:41, November 29, 2006
In a rare conjunction on Dec. 10, the planets Jupiter, Mercury and Mars will cluster very low in the east-southeast about an hour before sunrise, with the stars of the constellation Scorpius providing a sparkling background. This will be the closest conjunction of three planets visible with the unaided eye since 1974. As the predawn sky brightens, binoculars may be needed to pick out Mars, the faintest of the three.
At the beginning of the month, Mercury will be highest above the horizon, with Mars in the middle and Jupiter at the bottom. Each morning after that, Mercury will appear lower while Mars and Jupiter creep upward until the three planets form a tight group on the morning of Dec. 10. In the days afterward, Mercury will drift downward while Mars moves slightly upward. After midmonth, the orange star Antares will appear to the lower right (south) of Mars, slightly brighter than the planet and nearly the same color. Meanwhile Jupiter will climb higher than Mars to become a brilliant white "morning star."

Three planets will put on a moving show
In a display visible to the naked eye, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury will cluster together, then
slowly move apart
Wednesday, December 06, 2006 BOB DUKE
All five planets visible to the unaided eye make an appearance this month.
Set your alarm for 6 a.m. on Sunday. Dress warmly and find a location with a clear view of the horizon
to the east-southeast. At 6:20 a.m., Jupiter, Mars and Mercury will rise more closely clustered together than any three planets will appear over the next 47 years. All three may
be covered by the eraser end of a pencil held at arm's length. By 7 a.m., the rising sun will begin to obscure the view, although Jupiter and Mercury will appear
bright enough to spot.
Mercury, continuing its rapid orbit of the sun, pulls away from the scene on the following day and
successive mornings to offer a stunning exhibit of planetary motion. As the month progresses, Jupiter will appear higher in the sky and brighter every morning.
