Another year coming to a close ..
Much reflecting on the year gone by.
Thought the 'star watchers' might find this information interesting:
NEW YEAR'S EVE: What a way to end the year. On Dec. 31st, Venus and the slender crescent Moon will gather together high in the southwestern sky for a beautiful conjunction visible for hours after sunset. The two brightest objects in the night sky can be seen through city lights and even fireworks--so everyone can enjoy the show. Meanwhile, closer to the horizon, Mercury and Jupiter are converging for their own Dec. 31st conjunction. This one is not so easy to see, but rewarding for those who make the effort to find the two planets shining through the rosy glow of sunset.
Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps and photos of the converging planets.

New Year's Quote:
'Be always at war with your vices,
... at peace with your neighbors,
and let each new year find you -
.... a better man.'
~~ Benjamin Franklin
Wishing you a safe and healthy 2009.!

That sounds lovely, and I have a perfect view from the back deck - very little light pollution. Thanks for the heads up!
This post makes me long for the bright lights and big city that is New York. It sounds lovely, and what a great reminder of the beauty of nature and the universe in general. I love the quotes at the end, especially being at war with vices. I have a few I'd like to shed next year. It's been a great 2008 and I'm looking forward to sharing 2009 with you. Thanks for making life and business so much more enjoyable, Roe!
