In my last home I had one in the living room for years. Many nights I'd sit there for hours watching the sky. Alas, it now sits in the closet. I haven't taken it out in years. You've inspired me to dig it out to see what I can see.

My first dip in the Atlantic was in Ireland. Nice to see the telescopes over the years, I suspect the modern one has all sorts of technical wizardry.

When my wife and I were in Scotland last summer looking out at the rocky coast of the North Sea we saw a few seals. They were looking up at us on the cliffs and I was struck by how from a distance a seal resembled a human head - or even a mermaid.

I love watching the night & early morning skies too, though I don't have a telescope so use binoculars. I like to watch for the Int'l Space Station to fly over as well as observe the stars & planets & comets. Perhaps for my next birthday - or maybe Christmas - I should ask for a telescope instead of gift certificates for pedicures! Love the humor between the two of you! I stopped using hair dye when we got new flooring in the kitchen & bathrooms & I found myself laying down plastic tablecloths to protect the new floors from splattered dye. Figuring it was finally more trouble than it was worth, I let go.
