22. Superstitious nonsense....everyone with even a bit of education knows that if
...you want to protect yourself from evul spirits, you simply bundle up a lock of hair from virgin with the bark of oak tree sprinkled with rabbit dung (although, mouse dung is a substitute, though many consider it less effective) in the cured skin of a frog that was killed with a brass knife and hang the container on your bedpost.

27. I'm glad you enjoyed them,,,,
My daughter and I tried to check it out with our cheapo telescope but had no luck. Seriously it was trying to find a needle in a haystack even with the needle shining brightly...but the pics...yeah.

31. Cool, Radio Lady!
I'm going back out in a few minutes.

I JUST saw a sliver of the eclipsed moon through the clouds,
there's a clearing north- I should be able to see something in a bit!
