Nettie,
aye, a great reason to celebrate.
Sheeez, I just realised I'll be around 70 when the 50th anniversary comes around.
Jen, Yalumba cask wine, 13 bucks for two litres.
Also, a very handy bino viewing head cushion.
Tis amazing how far $13 can take one if one is creative.
H, yeah everyone, what he said. Always remember, no one is safe. Ever.
Bart, I had absolutely no lock out system in place last night as I was home alone ....
I didn't think making me look better could have been possible, until you mentioned your story.
Now I don't feel so bad.
Thanks for admitting that, you're very brave.
When's your 2,000th post btw
teehee.
Ken, thanks for your contribution. I too remember it like it was yesterday. I have to thank my father for that- I was only 22 at the time, he made me aware of the significance and we would watch it together. I didn't even have to go outside to see it as the bathroom window had it clearly in view.
I've often wondered how long it was actually visible for naked eye. I thought it was only something like 3 wks, but can't really remember as it was so long ago and was quite young. Was that "months" naked eye visible?
Steve, that is is awesome that you were actually imaging the LMC - how timely! Pleeeeeease would you let me have your photo? I did all my "drinking" celebrating last night thinking there might be a chance of me to do a tour with my scope of the LMC tonight, and being Qld, it's pouring with rain and I'm disappointed I can't even do that.
I don't care about the quality- meaning if it didn't fully work out or whatever, what matters to me is a keepsake of a photograph on it's anniversary.. if that makes sense?
Gary, your post REALLY made me think.
I'd never ever thought about it from that angle.
That's
very profound! Thank you so much for opening my eyes and making me think. That will stay with me forever actually.
Well... I sure hope some of you'll get to cruise the LMC tonight and celebrate this wonderful anniversary.
What does one do to compensate this special day that's ruined by rain I ask you...
Any ideas, I'm at a loss
at least the cricket match between Aussie & S.L is providing entertainment - creaming you guys as usual, so far 2/144
The match is won already.
