Y'know, that used to be true, but three weeks ago I bought a brand new
12" dobsonian telescope and it's been cloudy around here ever since.
Darn thing's been sitting here in my office while I wait for the
weather to clear up.

Tonight may be the night. :)

Your office must be mighty fine if you have room for a 12" dobsonian to sit
around without getting in anyone's way!

Heh. The good thing about Dobs is, their footprint is pretty small.
Takes up about two square feet of space. Makes getting to my bookcase
kind of hard, but I'll live with it. :)

My "office" is really pretty small, but I have room for the important
things in life. A good oak desk, a great telescope, and a small
refrigerator full of beer. And, a bunch of really cool glider pictures
on the wall.

We live in a 1500 square foot house, but it's set up the way we want
it. Life is good here in the Bozone, my friend.

The western part of the state is a lot like the midwest in terms of the
sky. Lots of overcast and dreary days. Places like Missoula and Kalispell.

Yeah, being a Bobcat fan I've always found Missoula to be a pretty
dreary place. :)

Fun place to fly into though if you're coming from Bozeman. Just follow
I-90, skim the hills just east of town, fly over Grizzlie Stadium, and
you're set up for a straight-in to 29 at KMSO. With tower approval, of
course.

Geez, that's like being a Detroit Lions fan.

They are non FAA and not too sharp.

Gallatin Field is a contract tower too. Had kind of a rocky start but
they're doing okay now. The times I've flown into KMSO I didn't have
any problems. Of course, it's not real busy there either.

And eastern Colorado is fantastic -- until late this evening.
Temps are expected to be in the 60s out here on the plains. And
Official Winter is only 11 days away.

Of course this time last year, we were below 0F.

Global warming, El Nino, whatever.

Blanche, I've been meaning to ask what publications you write for.

Me? I'm an out-of-work computer geek. And no, I don't do windows.
Well, that's not true. I just had all the windows on the first floor of
the house replaced. Second floor and the patio door are next year.

My publications are in the academic & government arena. Look
wonderful on a CV but that's about it.
