Well, if it will make you feel any better, we traipsed about 250 miles up to 
Second Mesa for an eighth grader star party in the clouds. It did clear up 
after most of the students had left however, and rained all the next day. Some 
got to see a hazy Jupiter or Saturn, Pleiades and Orion Nebula, M35, M81 and 
M82. It cleared from the west and then completely by 11. Thanks to Jennifer 
Keller, Diane Hope, Lynn Blackburn, Joe Goss, and Padraig (pronounce Patrick) 
Houlihan. We were presented Bright Star Atlases by Sally Oey, thank you so 
much. Don't feel bad about the weather, I think everybody at least saw 
something and the talk by Padraig was worth the trip in itself!
