Why the hell is Gretchen asking me how I put on the toilet paper roll? It's supposed to face out (so it spins better). Anyway, we went down into the Sunset tonight. It was a nice jaunt on the N Judah. Didn't take too long (didn't smell too bad). We went to some sushi place that was nice. Expensive, but nice. I had an 18 piece sashimi platter (though the slices weren't terribly large). We skipped dessert and walked down the street for a cup of coffee. We each wound up with some kind of mocha drink. Too sweet, way too sweet.

But that was far from the highlight of our evening. Unwittingly, we stumbled upon the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers. I kid you not – Gretchen and I got to see Saturn and Jupiter loud and clear tonight. Ganymede and Europa made an appearance, though Io had gone into hiding when we peered through the lens. Pretty neat! I've invited them to come on the show as guests, telling people how they could build their own telescope and get one of these organizations going in their community. All in all, it was a relatively good night.
