Comet isn\’t only one of Santa\’s reindeer. There\’s a comet out there now!

I wish I could see Leonard; but it\’s very unlikely that I can. I don\’t have a telescope or binoculars; and on top of that, the weather hasn\’t been conducive to star-gazing. Many mornings we\’ve had fog; and that can blot out things that are only a few yards away. Forget about seeing the sky when it\’s foggy! Saturday morning I did manage to glimpse the full moon through the fog, but that was fleeting; and probably a fluke.

Beginning sometime Friday afternoon, out weather turned overcast; and Saturday evening some areas had a T-storm warning. Right here, not much happened, unless it rained late at night; but it wasn\’t helpful for comet-watching.

From what I\’ve read, Leonard is rather faint. Which reminds me, I was very disappointed in the 1986 visit from Halley\’s. Halley\’s made a spectacular showing in 1910; and much of my life I looked forward to seeing it when it returned. When it did, it didn\’t make anything like its previous show. In fact, I didn\’t get to see it at all!

Yesterday it was chilly and gloomy; and the wind was very bothersome. The weather should improve by the weekend; so Comet and the other reindeer should have a good trip.
