Geez, the new outdoor Halloween lights I bought only lasted a week after I hung them up. Now they wont light, and it's not even Halloween yet.
I WAS NOT ANGRY SINCE I CAME TO HALLOWEEN UNTIL THIS INSTANT!

you probably can't tell from the picture, but her claws are anchored so deeply into my skin that if I try to pull away giant strips of flesh will be torn from my hand.
but she's purring, so I guess it's ok.

I remember an observing run in April 2019 where a single cloud stationed itself over KPNO for hours and ruined a whole night's worth of observing. (The rest of the clouds in this image streamed straight north all night and were never the problem....)
No, I'm not bitter, not at all.

Certain things get indelibly imprinted in your brain. Whenever I hear the little "dittlee-dee, dittlee-dee" of the Professor Hikita's oscillation overthruster, I am immediately transported back to my undergrad days at Caltech...

We went to the Cleveland Museum of Art today to see the Takashi Murakami exhibit "Stepping on the Tail of a Rainbow".
It was absolutely mind-blowingly spectacular.

Welp, got some bad news last night. Miss Maggie's been sick the last couple of weeks and it turned out to be a pretty advanced cancer. We'll say goodbye to her tomorrow morning. 😥😿

Abell 1914 has always been a favorite galaxy cluster. It's in the middle of a dramatic merger, and the intracluster light is just going crazy -- so many stars being stripped out of galaxies as the subgroups slam together. This is from our imaging with the KPNO 2m telescope way back in 2004!
