Rick,

Great image!!

This dwarf galaxy is sort of "the sticks" of the universe, or at least the
local group - an appropriate target for a guy living on a remote lake!

You're right about me being in the sticks. In the last election all
resident adults of my township (36 square miles) voted -- all 28 of us.
And many of them voted by absentee ballot as they had already headed
south for winter. There are less than a dozen of us who didn't head south.
