We've been getting day after day of monsoon rains here in Tucson. Today the whole city seems to be blanketed with a heavy, constant rain. I suppose the plants can use the water but it sure is making it impossible to do any observing.
Here's a picture of the dome taken at 2:45 this afternoon. Normally there would be a bright blue sky and you would see the Catalina Mountains in the background, but right now the sky is dull grey and nary a mountain in sight. It's been much too long since the dome of Xanadu has been used. I'm getting a little stir-crazy, as I'm sure most of the amateur astronomers around here are.
We did have a meeting this morning about the potential land acquisition for TAAA. Things seem to be moving ahead with that although it's going to take a while to be certain.
