He totally lives for the adoration of his fans, so the fact that he cannot hold rallies is killing him. He's rich and powerful and now the only thing left is to be adored or considered smart.  We know that the latter will NEVER happen, not in his dreams.

Hi Jim, Darian, and everyone. else. I had a good night. We've had just the absolute best weather this summer, although this was my first time out since the solstice. Why I usually go observing on the solstice is beyond me. Here in the far west of the eastern time zone it doesn't get dark enough to see DSO's until at least 11:30 on the solstice. Last night I got started an hour earlier at a dark sky preserve 70 miles SW of the Detroit lightdome. I gave it a good three hours with my dob and saw a ton of globulars(some new ones I hadn't seen before), and all of the eye candy nebulae and clusters in the MW. Every August I have a personal challenge object trying to see the central star in M57 when it's near the zenith and I mostly fail but the seeing and transparency was good enough last night that I did see it, although it was fleeting. Doing that in a 14.5" anywhere is impressive, doing it in Michigan is a big deal. I would have gone all night but I had to work today.

 LOL! We got nothing. What does it matter how much you are testing, if results are not timely, accurate, and acted upon. We are at the mercy of this virus.
