The weather anomoly in New England which allowed unsurpassed observation of 
Vesta's swift passage through Scorpio close enough to the planet Jupiter and 
her[his][its] moons to make an amateur like me, to jaw drop in awe, had run 
its course yesterday, closing the skies with drapes of stratus clouds 
negating my continuous documentation of this event.
But there a saying here in New England that goes something like this, "if 
you don't like the weather, wait a minute". And so tonight, the skies resume 
there crystal clarity and I get to go out and play.
No bugs to deal with, relatively dark skies and mild temperatures, 
unbelievalbe, extrodinary. I know I'm blessed.
Also observed were some few erratic meteors, nothing that exciting, but 
there's always the possibility.
So to my fellow List members adieu[sp] good noct[sp]. I wish you all a happy 
howardite, enjoyable eucrite, and down and dirty dioginite.
