From now on I'll pay more attention to the Stan-cast than to all those other
forecasts. It's either that or head west to Antennas with a jug of cold
lemonade.

Looking forward to next Saturday.

As I kept insisting, it would be and is a good and beautiful night. Jeff 
Hopkins just left after coming up to help me on something. At nightfall 
it completely cleared off, except for a few fleeting clouds to the north 
and here and there, like I said it would. As I had indicated in one of 
my earlier messages the transparency looked like it would be better than 
I had earlier expected and it certainly is. The sky at this moment is 
very dark and stars nice and bright. Jupiter is very bright. Jeff hadn't 
seen it that bright before. You all missed a cool and great night by not 
going to Cherry!
