Dear Chuckie, Do you think that "burning bag of poop" joke will ever get old? I've been watching you close this year and you haven't been as good a boy as you claim. I've been flying my new sleigh over Utah, to and from the Utah test range and you continue to light me up with that stupid green laser. Nope, I'm afraid you've done it again for this year. I am going to send you your gift a little different this year than I have in the past. This year I am sending your gift by train. A "COAL" train... ;) Santa Quoting Chuck Hards <chuckhards@yahoo.com>:

Dear Santa:

I've been a good boy this year, and only have a few items on my wish list. If it's not too much trouble, please bring me:

1: Meade 16" SCT with permanent equatorial pier, 12-foot dome on a 2-story observatory with a computer room/library/wet bar on the first floor.

2: A 36" f/4.25 mirror from NOVA Optical.

3: A new digital astro camera, laptop, autoguider, and the patience to get over the learning curves.

4: The model on page 7 of the Victoria's Secret catalog. In the same outfit.

5: The winning Powerball ticket.

6: World Peace and our troops back home in time to open their own presents.

7: Not necessarily in that order.

Thanks, Santa!
