Finally got a break in the weather - for a while there, I thought I
was living in Seattle what with all rain and cloudy weather.


Got out the Celestron and did a little star gazing for a while. Nice
and peaceful, spotted some sats - general looking around.


Really nice night - even started seeing some lightning bugs which is a
first for this year.


Glad you like it. it's hotter'n hoemade sin here.

right now it's 79 degrees, no air moving and about 75% humidity.

upper 90's for tomorrow (again)

==================================

What the heck is *hoemade sin*? *I can think of a couple things but they
can't be right.

Oh, by the way, it's 76*/95% humidity here in central Fl, just like it is
every night this time of year.

I wouldn't trade it for snow though.


I wouldn't trade our snow for all your giant cock roaches either. ?;^ )


Palmetto bugs.

They don't call 'em cockroaches (which is what they are).

This is from Wikipedia:

"The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), also known as the
Palmetto Bug or Waterbug,[1] particularly in the southern United
States, is the largest species of common cockroach, and often
considered a pest."

Note that they're 'often considered a pest'. That would imply that
they're often *not* considered a pest. I guess that's 'cause some
folks down there use them for watchdogs.
