[wisb] Re: Peent-ology on Wed evening: Bender Park in SE Mke Co.

Woodcock and Spring Peepers have been going at it for days across from
my house.  Very enjoyable with the weather.  Oh, and Betsy meant to
say all four of Jupiter's LARGEST moons are visible, and two are
easily seen with a good pair of binocs.  Jupiter has at least 66
moons.
