SNIP!

and tongues stuck to metal OTAs are no laughing matters. Okay, maybe
that last one is.

Not to mention an eyeball welded to a 4mm orthoscopic eyepiece...

To be clear, that is to say that this would be NO laughing matter...
YIKES!

virtual whiskey for those of us out here. Can't find any in any
stores...
I can find it on the Web, however.

Interesting, I was reading some e-pinions on the Web for Rebel Yell in
order to see how hard I should be looking. I think the consensus was
something like that it might be a good paint thinner...

You may want to do a 'search' with Keith Richards, Jim Morrison, Chuck
Berry and Billy Idol....

Yes, Rebel Yell is a nice paint thinner. Cut it with ginger-ale.

Try 2 shots Jack Daniels, two shots blackberry brandy over ice in an old
fashioned glass. Jeesh! A Black Jumpin Jack Flash!

Does anyone have any suggestions for cold weather observation
techniques?
There have been some really clear but cold nights here lately. While
one
side of me wants to do some observing the other side of me doesn't want
to
end up a meatsickle.

While I won't claim that even the mountains of Southern California get as
cold as some other location in the United States, I did go through a lot of
different clothing arrangements in an attempt to stay warm. I finally
settled on a skiers one-piece outfit and moon boots. The former, being one
piece, had the advantage of not having any breaks in the clothing where the
wind and heat could escape, but you have to move around a bit, or at least
shake your body, to generate heat every now and again. The moon boots were
almost too warm, so ordinary socks can be used with them. As for the head,
I never did find anything to my satisfaction, since I wear glasses and my
ears need some sort of protection.

Good Luck !
