About 11am today I unloaded the truck and headed
towards Palmdale and the Lowes down there. I ended
up not only checking them out, but home depot too
and even wal-mart. I was looking for something that
doesn't seem to be made anymore. I remebered that
years ago I used to see sheets of plastic that
could be used around the home, I wanted to get some
and make a light shade and fasten it to the front
of my scope, ( I'm using poster board now ) to
help cut down some of the light I deal with.

After 3 hours of walking around stores, and making
my left foot very sore, I gave up and came home.

At 6pm I loaded the scope and stuff into the truck
and went to my corner and set up. Didn't have a
big amount of people, but most of the ones who stopped
would talk with me for awhile, as they had some
questions about things.

I had two high school kids come by, and one asked
what I was looking at and I said the Planet MARS,
and then he says " What other planets? Where? " and he
walked off. Guys like him I could do without. By 9:30pm
my asprin had all wore off and everything was real slow,
so I backed the truck up and loaded everything up and
home I came.

Thus comes to end another night on the streets of
Rosamond.

towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."
