I went outside the other night for the first time in the real dark here. That's a little weird, but it's a combination of the amazingly long days and the fact that I've been doing nothing but studying. And tonight I went out again! I'd forgotten how great night is. Anyway, there's a widget (software) for macintoshes that shows you which stars/planets/constellations are visible in the night sky. It's too bright in my front yard to see much clearly, but I probably definitely saw a very bright Jupiter. Or a very bright something. I don't think I've ever seen Jupiter before. So this day wasn't a complete waste of real experience. Then I tripped on my front steps, which is also more memorable then studying. Not too bad for a little venture into the wilds of the front yard.

My first thought was you saw Jupiter, the dog, in NP. which would be as exciting as seeing Jupiter the planet!
Ooh! When I get back out West we will get my telescope from my mom's house and look at the moons of Jupiter.
