[Chaos-l] Skywatching canceled

[Mark South]

Chaos friends,
Oktex was bad weather as well --although 1 night was nice and dark

  funny how folks out west freaked out when they saw dew... I said  
welcome to my world!  :) We east coasters are the truly dedicated to  
our hobby with many variables that prevent us going out to observe.

  Honestly I thought almost heaven was just as dark but the weather is  
iffy.
