    And if anyone reading this has clear skies tonight, look for the planetary conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn low in the southwestern sky just after sunset. The two appear very close together and can be viewed in binoculars or a telescope.

    Going into a drought out west in the mountains !   Wall to wall blue. CAVU at night ! We saw the international space station last night.

    A 3 minute ride across our night sky.

    A bit less than 1/4 the normal rain for now 4". Crossing fingers to fill the tanks.

    Happy Solstice!   Cheers !
