New York Punishment Continues

Ordinarily, in New York (at least in the boroughs where I live), we
have nice clear sunny days and nice evenings throughout the work-week
- during which time most people are working and do not have the luxury
of traveling to darker skies.

Then, when the weekends approach, the clouds usually come in and
settle down, only to clear out Monday morning.

However, today, since Mars is the closest we'll ever see it, and
tonight would be optimal viewing, our New York clouds have made a
special appearance and completely covered the sky.

WHY OH WHY?!?!?!?!

Another f'ing opportunity ruined by our crappy weather.

Can't wait until I move to Indiana.

Later all.

Calm down --- NYC isn't the only place in the world having bad
weather. I have bad weather too....

And within the next week Mars will only get marginally more distant.
You'll have to wait several weeks until there's an easily noticeable
difference.

It is well known that clouds are attracted to new
telescopes. In an area with a large population
like NYC there is always somebody with a new
telescope, especially with the current Mars hype.

The solution is obvious, move to somewhere that is
thinly populated and take an older scope with you.

OTH you could buy a brand new 10" hyper-chromatic
refractor and rent yourself to farmers in drought
areas.
