To all amateur astronomers in southwestern B.C. and
Washington:

I apologize. I just bought a neat new piece of equipment,
which means it's going to be cloudy and/or rainy for
the next 6 weeks. Sorry.

The equipment in question is a Losmandy G-11, which
I've put together in the middle of my living room floor
(being single has its advantages... :-) and currently
have my 5" Synta achromat perched on it. It looks like
an overgrown finder scope.

Before you ask: no, I didn't get Gemini. Maybe next
time.
