Morning Feather!

Isn't tonight the night Mars is going to be closet to the earth?

Think I'll build a fire in the backyard, get a cup of coffee, and enjoy the evening.

I had a telescope once, would have loved to have it still.
It would have come in handy for viewing Mars at this time.
But... my dear uncle, who was visiting at the time, stripped the traverse and elevating gears on it while trying to watch the chick across the street do her usual 'walk before the windows in the buff' routine.
Yes, he had been warned about two things:
1.) DO NOT TOUCH THE TELESCOPE.
2.) Cindy B across the street liked to flash the guys.

Cripes that was infuriating...

COOOOOOL site, ms. feather! The Hubble Space Telescope pics are fascinating, aren't they?
Hubby and I broke out our telescope last night to peek at Mars for a bit. A thin layer of high clouds kept us from seeing much detail but we could make out the polar ice cap well.
There won't be any viewing around here tonight. Rain and t-storms. Agaaaain. *sigh* Slipping in now, between storms, to catch up on things here at FR. :-)
