Winter is always the best for astronomy.  In years past, we've had the
star party in January, but last year we did not have it at all due to
the weather.  We tried in January, February and March, but the clouds
and rain got us every time.  We have monthly meetings here, and twice a
year-summer and winter, we have "big events" and invite the public.
This year, we are starting in October.  We also hope to draw out more of
the public by doing it this time of year when it is 45-50 degrees
instead of 15-20 degrees.
It has been raining for a few days now, but it is finally clearing.  I
was too busy with email to look at the sky tonight..I hate it when that
happens.  The day was pretty much shot from the get-go.

Thanks for thinking of me (I think)
