A helpful indicator of the turbulence in a clear sky is looking at bright stars near the zenith or the object you want to look at and see how much the stars "twinkle". Much twinkling, much turbulence.

The latest I can find is he can be contacted via www.telescope-warehouse.com and the email link on that page (the site owner apparently knows Mr. Rini). This website is under construction and the "Click to Shop!" link doesn't work, but hopefully the email works.

Who can stay that late? (I start work at 5:30 a.m.) I like Victor Borge - he had fun with high-brow humor - other concert pianist and singers, etc., and low-brow humor - "I shall have to wear the tie...yes, the long one...the real long one".

Since Uncle Sam mandated HD TV next year (I'm sure the "market forces" had a lot of $ay in that) and the poll only allowed on choice, I went with bio-diesel. Most BTU per acre from what I've read. Could we grow enough soybeans or such to fuel the U.S.? I'm sure the answer is no. The only one that would run all the cars is gasoline, but the glass is about half empty there. Hydrogen right now is a short range option like an electric car. Fuel cells are currently too finicky. 100% electric cars would require a lot of new power plants and electrical infrastructure. What we need is a comprehensive energy policy, which neither the President or Congress have given us. I think we should vote all new people in...Independants, Libertarians, Greens, give them all a chance, they can't do much worse and change is slow in Washington so they can't do the horrible things people imagine.

As strong as the backs of the taxpayers that are paying the bill for these "free" markets. :C

I sure wish the "news" channels had more news in the evening instead of Hollywood, editorial, etc.
