It is truly amazing that a little over 100 years to the day of the meeting of the rails, men were walking on the Moon for the first time. ----- Original Message ----- From: utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Sent: Tue, 07 May 2019 13:28:46 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 195, Issue 3 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."

Some have bailed on L&O in favor of the locomotive. So I put the question to the entire L&O group, do we want to go ahead with it on the 11th or postpone a week or two, to allow the railroad buffs to see the engine in Ogden? The Winchester park sun party is on the 18th, but as we start at 1:00 and they end typically at noon, that shouldn't be a conflict. We can also just go ahead with the 11th for whomever shows-up, but have another one in a couple of weeks after that. My work schedule is finally starting to lighten up a bit. Let me know, not much time left to decide.

Just a heads up.... I work (volunteer) at the Union Station where the "Big Boy" will be... we anticipate up to 80,000 people per day in the area. Parking is very remote with bus shuttle services to the Union Station. The front runner Ogden station is 1 block away from where Big Boy will be... and a very pleasant walk... you might want to consider taking the front runner to get to Ogden...

Liver & Onions

30 Apr '19

My apologies to everyone for being MIA for the entire winter. It's been a rough year, Kelly's accident was a year ago on March 28th. She never returned to work but continues her recovery at home and with therapy. She's doing much better. I've had the usual rush jobs at work that take me out of anything else for months at a time. But time is loosening up so I want to take advantage of it while I can. I'm thinking about May 11th. There's a SPOC star party that night but the sun party isn't until the weekend after. Please RSVP if you can make it, and if this day won't work for most folks we can come up with an alternate. It will be good to see you all again! Chuck
