Watch out for those angry birds! They love to wreck things that are built and as they fly, well they drop droppings onto telescope optics!

LOL!
But, hey, now that Andy Rooney has retired SOMEONE has to be curmudgeon-in-chief. Why not you?
And if it's an iPhone just think of the thousands of astronomy apps that you can proudly proclaim you refuse to install on it.
I just checked the iTunes store and saw that you can download such hits as "Curmudgeon", "The Portable curmudgeon", "A Curmudgeon's Bestiary" and "A Curmudgeon for all Seasons".
Welcome to a brave new world.

My boss finally told me "You WILL carry a company phone" and dammit, it's a smart phone.
I've been reading Utah-astro posts on it today. As soon as I figure out how to use the darn thing, I may actually post from it, lol.
So, Chuck has entered the broader world of tech, against his will, but at least at no cost to him. And WTH is "Angry Birds", anyway?
I don't have a good feeling about this. It runs contrary to my goal of being off-line completely after retirement but well before death. And the fact that I got the thing on the day of Steve Job's death seems like a harbinger of doom. How can a proper curmudgeon carry a smart phone and still have any self-respect? I'm an analog man living in a digital world. Harrumph, harrumph I say.
