Lowell Observatory's YouTube channel will be streaming it live tonight at 9:00 MST/PT:

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
