Great blog, Joe, but your opening sentence has me scratching my head: "This is a good time to remember the joys of midsummer astronomy, if only to divert our minds momentarily from hurricane-force winds, wrecked feces, downed giant spruces and snow." "Wrecked feces"? I hate it when that happens. ;-)
Here it is nearly 2012 and man still cannot invent a spell checker that knows which word we mean to spell and which word was a mistake. "Yes, everything is spelled correctly". Duh!

Yes yes, my wife -- who was a professional proofreader -- just caught that one, as well as misspelling "ever" as "every". I've fixed them, with a red face!
