My Last Night on the Mountain

Well, Creepy Guy struck again. Encounter #4.

I went walking from the telescope to get some coffee to help me through the night to 5am. The moon had set, so it was dark, but I didn't want to use my flashlight because I like to look at the stars. It's like I'm an astronomer or something. The lights of Tucson can be seen on the eastern horizon, Phoenix to the northwest, and Mexico to the south. The views are amazing. I saw 2 more shooting stars today. I hope I'm always this excited to see them.

I am now a SARA Observer. I've named it to myself. I figure that since they're leaving the undergrads alone with the telescope we have the authority of title. I think it was more of an issue of lazy grad students.
