Darn it...they changed the weather forecast from "mostly clear" to "partly cloudy." We'll see. It's dark and pouring out now...

It's almost 1AM here and i just went outside to see how the sky was and it was completely cloudy. I dont think i should even bother staying up since i wont be able to see anything with all the clouds. Plus i have to go run 4 miles for field hockey at 9AM so i dont want to be tired. I guess i'll have to wait until next year.

Yeah, I'm in Florida right now and the clouds from this front are almost completely obscuring the Perseus constellation. Anyone else had any luck?
