Category Image I Bought a Telescope

I bought a telescope a few years ago because I've always wanted to be able to see the exciting things happening in space when they occur.  But every time something has happened that would be visible through a telescope, Austin has been socked in by clouds.

Today, we're bombing the moon and we're having a terrible thunderstorm.  You couldn't see the moon with the best telescope known to man.  Drat.

I mean, what are the odds?  We go months on end without any clouds at all and on the rare day that matters it's pouring rain.


P.S.  What a complete dud of a show that was.  I wish I stayed in bed.
