- That's because there are no more stars. I haven't seen one since October 26th.
- The Supreme Being apparently vaporized all of them and now the sky is
- continually filled with a thick, swirling nebula mist. Even the Sun and
- Moon were taken, although by some miracle it does continue to brighten a bit
- each morning and then darken a little in the late afternoon.
-
- My other theory is that Wisconsin was swallowed by "The Nothing" from
- _The Dark Crystal_.

- The only thing left to watch in the skies are low flying aircraft ... which
- can be quite challenging at 250X on a dobsonian mount.
