DDC 2006 Fall Tour / Day 09 / Stars

August 29, 2006

Very little to report on. Caught up on a bunch of work. Hung with Gary around the compound. Watched some documentaries with mom and dad. Ate well. Didn't put pants on once all day. Perfect.Woke up real late, say, 4:30am or so, and went outside to check the night sky.Millions of stars were out up above the cul-de-sac canopy. Skillions. Pulled dad's lawn chair thingie out there and sat there for a bit trying to keep my eyes open. So nice.Saw the big and little dippers, and saw this lesser known constellation: "Gary Longus Minor"We had no problem picking that one right out. If you did, click here for a little help.Gonna do it again tonight, but this time, dragging some stray futon that's in the garage out there so I can bed down properly.- - - -Speaking of the sea, (huh?) here's a shot that surfaced from that booze cruise thing we went to just before we pushed off from Portland little over a week ago: "Nakamoto, Soli, Gross and Draplin: Pickled Herrings."
