I've avoided it for so long.
SO long.
Because math is evil, and hates me.
But. My son just happened to have an extra telescope, laying around. Bzuh. AND I managed to put it together! So - armed with my free April Star Charts -

- I'LL HAVE MY *OWN* DAMNED YURI'S NIGHT PARTY. I may even get a pizza, because I can't really think of anything, 'Russian' besides vodka, and that doesn't really interest me. :)
My goal is to someday view the Orion Nebula. I know that's a winter thing, really, but, still. That is my goal. Tonight, I'd just like to play with it and check out the moon and mein liebe, Mars.
O, for a rock salt gun to obliterate the streetlights.
ETA:
Annnnnnd, uh oh. I was out clearing some leftover leaves from the front yard, just now, and got a glimpse of our new next-door neighbors.
Yikes. Kar-trash-ian A-Go-Go...that OH, so special breed of Pennsyltucky Rap-Billy, to be sure. Complete with buzzed head/tattoo-sleeves/skin-tight lycra 'clothes'.
I smiled and lifted a hand in greeting, annnnnnnnd...got a dirty look for my friendliness.
SO. Okay.
Let's face it. It's THEIR world, not mine, these days - and they can have it. I'm a little old lady that bothers NO ONE.
Always, two/three cars, in and out, at all hours..Rap, blaring..Can't WAIT for summer. Jeebus.

"Every Friday and Saturday night, from May into October, park staff and volunteers run free public programs to share the celestial glory.
People begin to gather around 7 p.m., Harrison said, for a solar view. "We use a solar scope and look at sunspots and such."
As night falls, attention turns to the stars ... or the moon."
huh.
