I was delighted this evening to observe a rare and spectacular astronomical phenomenon in which the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter were all completely obscured by cloud.
@telescoper Oddly enough, read a quote from you in "The Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11" yesterday and it made me think "there's someone who has a lot of cloudy nights" 😋
@_thegeoff @telescoper You don't live in Upstate NY, I take it?
@ProudAdvocate @telescoper Ireland and the UK are the first to get whatever remains of hurricanes bouncing off the Eastern US, so I'm holding you personally responsible. 😜
(And my next door neighbour who just bought a new telescope, and we all know what that means...)

@_thegeoff @telescoper oh, whoa, wait, you're holding the US responsible for...bad weather in the UK and Ireland? Dude, that's quite the escalation. (My husband is English and was living in Galway when we met. I know whereof I speak. 😂)

Does your neighbor also wash his car on nice days? Might be time for a friendly chat.

@ProudAdvocate @telescoper All I'm saying is our wet weather generally arrives from the south-west-ish. And the wind sounds a lot like the Star Spangled Banner. Just saying.
@_thegeoff @telescoper as you can see, my household is completely overcome by that outlandish notion.
@ProudAdvocate Cassie monitoring the incoming weather for evidential purposes...
@_thegeoff I see Cassie's evidence gathering and raise you Phantom, who would like to speak with the manager.
@ProudAdvocate Tia wishes to draw your attention to her butt.
