["AJ Crayon" <acrayon@xxxxxxx>]

I can simpathize with Rick on a Ground Hog's Birthday.  That is also my 
birthday and I've been informed there WILL be a family get together at 
Pappadeaux's Restaurant - including myself.  The next day, however, is also 
important and it just isn't the Super Bowl.  You see it is our 40th 
anniversary and I dare not be caught napping because of telescoping.  Not 
sure how to handle the game and anniversary.  I'll let that to the head of 
the War Department.

Hope there are clear skies for everyone else,
aj

Well, Since Saturday I s Lindsay's Birthday, I guess I can offer myself up
as the sacrificial lamb.  Hoping for the Antennas the following week.

The past few weeks remind me of March/April back on Long Island.

Clear Skies

Well, it would seem that we won't be chatting about using telescopes for =
the
next several days...so, I would like to start a weather discussion, =
because
I think it deserves it.

I have lived in Arizona for 31 years now and have been paying attention =
to
the weather for all that time. =20

I have never seen such a consistent squall line of dark clouds, rain,
drizzle, snow in the high country and generally "Seattle-like" =
conditions as
the past ten days to two weeks.  It is utterly fascinating to get up and =
see
dark clouds overhead AGAIN.  Or, wake up in the middle of the night and =
hear
the rain on my roof.  If I had only known, I would have turned off the
sprinkler system.

I do hope that it stops in time to allow us to observe, Saturday night.  =
It
needs to quit by Thursday so that a couple of sunny days can dry out the
ground and stop the dew from forming at 8 PM.  We shall see.

It would be nice to get another set of photos of Comet Holmes.

Here's hoping, clear skies to us all;
Steve Coe
