Yes, but you've had the keys to the drug locker, haven't you...or at least worked with people who did... ;-) I've always said that the most amazing thing in the universe that I've ever seen, I didn't see through a telescope. It had NOTHING to do with astronomy. My eyepiece experiences pale before it, memorable though they may be. It was the birth of my beautiful daughter. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. It made me feel more a part of the universe than anything else I have ever experienced. And I gained a new respect for women because of it. I maintain that males are the inferior gender. We are lucky that women put up with us. If we didn't earn a paycheck, do yardwork, empty the cat-box, and take the garbage out, we'd be kept in cages wearing loincloths, until "needed".
