LUXURY!!! (link) It's so bad here at night I need scuba gear to get through the humidity and into the observatory. It's cloudy 32 days a month and 25 hours a day and the clouds are so thick I can reach up and touch them! And when it's clear (once every 11 years) the sky is so transparent and the moon is so bright that you'll start tanning in 10 minutes. ...

... Gosh darn it!!!
