Thanks, that's the most depressing thing I've heard in a while.

"....nice bit of consciousness-raising last week, Rick McC."
Uhhh... what were we talking about last week? That was, like, a whole week ago.

Thought for the Day... 6/19Posted By Paul Kammueller |
"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."
Well, my government has nukes and stealth planes. Let's see, I've got... a butcher knife.
Isn't there some other way I can be a patriot?

You're probably right.
What the heck is a square circle anyway?

They probably could have come up with a better abbreviation. "Blog" to me sounds like something nasty you dig out of your nose.

Tasco TormentPosted By Paul Kammueller |
I year or so ago I bought a used Tasco 60mm f/15 from an auction site almost as a joke for about 15 bucks. I was actually on an experimenting spree with 60mm refractors. It was an older Tasco, made in Japan. :-)
I was actually quite shocked at how good the optics were, much better than newer Meade and Celestron 60mm's I've seen. I was equally shocked that a scope with such good optics was virtually impossible to aim or use. The placement of mounting bolts on the tube was so bad that it was not physically possible to balance the scope at all on its dec axis unless you bypassed the mounting bolts entirely and held the tube to the equatorial head with a couple of clamps further down the tube.
