    Not the way I planned

    I talked my wife in going for a short drive with me out in the country away from city lights to see if i could find comet swan. I stoped just before an intersection on a gravel road. Got out with my binos there was a house across the road and there was a few cars moving around. I didnt think much of it so im trying to find the comet and in less than 10 minutes ill bet 20 cars came and went from this house. One car came out and pulled over and watced us as i was getting ready to go. People I dont know it might have been a crack house not a good place for me and my binos. And i still havent seen the comet. This is the way my luck goes.

    What was the color of their porch light?

    Perhaps it was a star party and they had a 24" Dob out back with excellent views of the comet.


    BTW, what does this have to do with getting on airplanes?

    I know my keyboard debounces lots of double letters when I type too quickly. Maybe that's what the thread title is about.

    OK, so it's either about sailing or

    Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.
