A Sign of the Times....

Hi All

I have just come back from the local Newsagent, 2 of them actually. I think I have just seen another sign of the tough times.

The Newsagents previously carried a good range of astronomy magazines: Astronomy; Aust Sky and Telescope; Sky At Night; Astronomy Now. They were in the Science and Technology Section with some of the electronics magazines.

Well, the range has now been reduced to just one - Aust Sky and Telescope, and it is no longer in the Science and Technology section.
Have a guess where? Astrology. Yes, ASTROLOGY.

I had a brief chat to the owner. He said he is just not selling astronomy mags much now, but the astrology magazines just keep walking out the door. He has about 5 different such mags.

Amazing.

Darrell
