You made a good call Joe. If it had been up to me I would have done the same and called it off. We'll have good days ahead. Thank you for all you do as board member!

No kicking required. The weather has fooled us before.
I just hoped that since the weather forecast last night was good for today the board might have reconsidered and rescheduled.
And this on the one day in months I was actually in SLC before noon! :)
But since I was up anyway I had my own impromptu sun party. Happily lots of sunspots and there were (are) prominences all the way around the limb.
And just for good measure had a look at Vega, Capella and Venus. Tried for Mars. No show. Also for the comet. No surprise it was a no show. Hopefully in a few hours.
Speaking of the comet, everyone knows that buying a telescope makes it cloudy and canceling an outdoor event makes it clear. So we should thank the board for their actions as it's now going to be clear for comet viewing tonight. LOL!
Clear skies,
patrick

Patrick, the reason was explained earlier. It was because the weather forecast was horrible. I know you are a big proponent of the idea that the "weather permitting" warning is enough but believe me it is not. I took "credit" for instigating the change. So kick away, I'm down. -- Joe
