Merry Christmas everyone! Obviously I've been kind of slow with the blogging lately and I don't really see that improving. I'm blaming it on all the covid-19 crap even though I'm spending more time lately at the computer. I'm not doing anything really earthshaking, just getting records ready for the new year.
Like many people we were out trying to see the Super Star created when Jupiter and Saturn came into line. Our telescope is more of a spotting scope so the view wasn't the greatest but it was kind of interesting once we managed to aim the scope properly! That took way too much time. I have to admit seeing the rings around Saturn is pretty cool.
We had been planning on a visit over Christmas from our daughter however a co-worker of hers has come down with the covid virus so she decided to do the responsible thing and stay home. My wife and I were both happy with that decision. Our daughter has been one of the doubters about the illness and I guess now she has decided that it is a real thing. Honest, she didn't vote for Trump!
Just to keep things 'normal' here in our little town, there was a story in the paper about some bags of marijuana that were found dumped off one of the roads out in the desert. Apparently it wasn't very high grade stuff but, still, if nothing else dumping it like that is littering.
This is still Trump country. Every weekend there are 20-30 people on the main corner here in town waving flags, Trump banners and No Biden signs. It is really amazing to me that these people are still all worked up. I mean 4 years ago Mrs. Clinton got more popular votes than Mr. Trump but because of the electorial college he won the election. There weren't any people demonstrating then. Maybe it just happened in another state and I missed it. Well, in 4 weeks and a day we should have a new President. I know Mr. Trump is still going to get plenty of headlines but at least he will only be a private citizen.
Gotta go. Once again, have a very Merry Christmas!
