There is always' next week. The crowd at the Meadow are even having stronger winds. The Discovery Telescope site is really gone to the dogs Dwight In a message dated 5/28/2011 3:34:12 P.M.

If the usual DOTM crowd was going up anyway, I might come for the party and take my chances. But it sounds like most folks either are at the Meadow or plan to pass on this one. Better luck next month, I hope.

I guess the :-/ icon is a wry smile? Got it. Actually, it turned out okay last night after the sun went down. The winds stopped (they were hitting 30 knots about 6:00 pm) and the sky was good, though not great. Today's forecast is for 40 knot gusts and even 30 knot gusts tonight. Sunday's transparency forecast degrades badly too.

No problem here. The last email was meant as a joke. I'm sure he'll understand. I sent him a weather report last night, so no big deal.
