After enjoying yet another installment of COSMOS last night, I watched Fox news (or Faux news to some on this board). Thought t o geet yet another local weather report. So far local weathermen have been predicting clear skies for Monday, just for the lunar eclipse (cough cough). The Fox/Faux weatherman continues to predict clear skies for tonight AND they did a nice report on the lunar ecliipse, even showing SPOC. Was very pleased with the report until they showed some dweb using the 8" refractor in broad daylight - peering intently (close up on the eye) and focusing. Care to comment Patrick? Crossing my fingers too - also charging the batteries on my camera and portable power supply for my telescope.

Moi? Being that I know some of the folks at 13 I can say that our local Fox news is not the same at the national faux news. But all that aside, "weather" you're at the Sandy Walmart, SPOC or some place else, good luck to all for tonight! patrick :) On 14 Apr 2014, at 10:30, CenturyLink Customer <jcarman6@q.com> wrote:
