Hello all, I thought a bus would be a good idea and I still do, but it's not worth it if the proposal is just going to stir up anger. The idea was to generate a good time as a group. I would rather drop the whole thing if it's such a hassle. But if there is interest in it, I don't think an on-line poll is the way to asses it. We should just vote it up or down at the general meeting. -- Truly best wishes, Joe ________________________________ From: Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 4:49 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Eclipse Car Pool (poll update) Hi all, It's starting to get a bit uncomfortable here. So before the flames start to spread I thought I'd let y'all know how the SLAS Blast poll is going. As of a few minutes ago, 2 have voted for the idea of SLAS paying for a bus. A few others have suggested the bus is a good idea but that they'd be willing to pay or that they should pay. The rest have told me of their plans to go on their own. And, yes, there have been a few (let's call them "stern") remarks against the idea. The SLAS Blast only went out a coupe of days ago and it is the weekend when some folks do not go online so maybe we'll get a few more votes Monday. But, really folks, there does not appear to be a great deal of support for the idea so let's not go all Romney/Gingrich here over something that may not even happen. :) patrick _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php
