with your significant other

Posted By Garrick Taylor

My wife finds the stars interesting but with all the great photos I show her that people post on here she gets her fix looking over my shoulder at the computer!

I enjoy finding the stuff with my own eyes, even if it doesn't look as godd as the pictures people post on here.

In search of Clear Dark Skies

Posted By Garrick Taylor

Same here Thursday was beautiful and transparent but I couldn't spend much time because I had to be at work the next day. Friday rolls around with a scheduled observing session w/ the astronomy club and the clouds come rolling in.

Now the sky clock is showing all white boxes. Guess I have time to catch up on reading the forums, huh?

It's a Month for Globular Clusters, and I am putting 9 of them on this months list.
M5, M13, M92, M10, M12, M14, M80, M4, M107.
How is everybody doing so far?

I found all of these this evening and was thinking there are a lot of globs around right now. First clear night in a week and I am loving it!

Eminent Domain

Posted By Garrick Taylor

Don't worry, those judges have enough influence to get the Walmart moved to YOUR back yard. I posted on this several months ago. Emminent domain is one of the many powers that our government has twisted so much that it no longer resembles its true purpose. The sad thing is the courts are supposed to be the check against this type of power abuse by government.

This is one of the many issues that neither of the major political parties has on its radar screen. Now lower level judges will have to use this ruling as precedent in their own rulings against us "little people". There is no private property anymore -- just land you get to use until the government decides you don't deserve to have it anymore.

This issue is a good reason to consider voting liberterian at the ballot box.

Here is a link to straigten out the Clinton recor

Posted By Garrick Taylor

The biggest fact in against Cliton is he had OBL located and in the crosshairs and decided not to take him out. Too bad we didn't have someone like Reagan in office at the time. Reagan would have taken OBL out when he had the chance.

I believe that......

Posted By Garrick Taylor

I agree; I think God said Bang and it happened. I feel that the world was created using a set of rules that we call science, and that everything is in a constant state of evolution, adaption, and change.

With some of the celebrities we have out there I often wonder if humans are evolving into something better or devolving......
