OT: Mars Spectacular

WAY Cool!! hehe Thanks for sharing this. I assume those times are Pacific Daylight?

I love to watch the meteor showers. When I'm at the cottage there are no lights for miles around and the stars are so close that I can almost touch them Thanks for the heads up -- I have a friend with a telescope Mim

Sorry, I can't even figure out time zones

But, it does say close to earth, should include you. :-)

i was in kitchen (east facing) last night and spotted mars. WOW!!! no mistaking what it was... no twinkle and the colour is obvious as well, not the usual for sure.

i called dh to have a look and asked if he knew what it was, nope says he, well its mars say i. then i'm just staring up and next thing hes gone and got the binoculars and is trying to tell me how to locate it. geez, i used to work with a freelance astronomer going to schools/camps at night with all our binocs and telescopes. kinda hard to lose mars this time, lol. silly dh but was nice to see him paying attention at least. will keep an eye on mars for the rest of the month. l thanks Vicki. jeanne*

Thanks for the reminder, Jeanne*. I'd plumb forgot.

I hope that someday we get a clear night -- all we have here is rain and fog -- A man came in the store yesterday with a T shirt from a local lighthouse. He is from Italy and I apologised for our foggy weather. He comes to Maine because it IS foggy. He said if he wanted a sunny beach he said he would go to Capri.

I'll have to think sunny Capri and maybe I'll get to see Mars.

Any time there is an awesome astrological event, it's cloudy in New England. Go figure. I've never seen a meteor shower... Only caught the comet years back because it was around a long time and during the day too.

Ooooooh! MIM & LN, I think we need to make a trip out to visit taria! What do you think? This fog and humidity is about to drive me nuts! Good quilting weather, BUT summer IS gardening season! ME-Judy

sounds good to me !! :-) :-) What state is it?? So far this month I'm flying to NC for a wedding -- the gorgeous stars quilt is being hand quilted - very slowly -- and then to VA to see DS2 who just moved to the east coast.

Maybe I'll find some sun on the way

If you don't come on out and I'll share some of ours with you Bring your swimming togs and we'll let you use the pool and wellllllll

gotta think on this--- thinking thinking thinking welllllll

maybe even let the Pool Boys.......

Butterfly (more th> sounds good to me !! :-) :-) What state is it?? So far this month I'm

Did you hear that?????? she'll share the pool boys!!!! best offer I've had in a coons age -- Now I wonder -- how long is that supposed to be :-) :-) :-)

There she goes----off to Mars again. I do hope your feint-ing slump hit the chaise and NOT the floor....and you DID have your daintily embroidered Irish Linen handkerchief with the finely crocheted lace edging fluttering to the floor as you went limp......

Now, I 'spect she will be acallin out for Eudardo to come with the smelling salts to revive her..

Butterfly (NO WAY, No way am I send> ***I*** am The Drama Queen..... as evidenced by my limp, pretty right

When I got to get out the cah 'n walk up the rud apiece to see where 'tiz afore I kin drive, THAT's fog

Seein as how we catch fish when they take a wrong turn and flop on land cuz thet cahn't see wheres theyz goin

I do not imagine for a single second that our Leslie would be so vulgar as to swoon delicately and land upon a chaise! No no no! She would do it in proper style and position herself to fall gently and properly upon the fainting couch. The chaise is where the gentlemen perch uncomfortably whilst patting milady's hand and watching the maid lay a daintily embroidered Irish Linen lace edged hanky dampened with eau de cologne upon milady's brow in an effort to revive her.

Then again, I never was good with furniture names.....

NightMist

Oh no, Leslie!!!!! It's probably low blood sugar....better pop a couple of Peeps.
