SLAS Spring Star parties and rain seem to go hand in hand lately.
Anybody who has lived in Utah more than a year or two knows that spring weather is completely unpredictable, "clear-sky" digital BS and all. I believe that SLAS SOP is to reschedule when possible. No big deal. The public either understands, or they don't. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I'm actually sick and tired of people who ask "Can't your telescopes 'look *through *the clouds????" It was cute the first few years, but after four-plus decades, I'm wondering about our public school physics classes. It's not cute anymore. This country is doomed. Those of you who disagree, well, I'm willing to debate your opinion after 40+ years of experience on your end. In the meantime, please do not post to the list for that. Bitch at me off-list and I'll take your wrath. Kudos to the brave souls who go out regardless of the weather. Sincerely.
