Good morning! It was 61ºF this morning, with a dew point at 60ºF. The cool air was a nice change. Weather Underground is telling me it should be like this all week. That’ll be a nice change from the last few weeks. > [@(Old) Prepping for a visit in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-prepping-for-a-visit-in-the-mmp/1032376/270): > > I found a nice green tank top, and that was all they had in my size. I had a chance to try them on last night. They fit great. I’m a little miffed that they were out of the tanks in my size, but whaddya gonna do? I had also found a navy blue t-shirt in my size. They had a lot of floral tops, but I have no clue how to match those. I wear solids. I can handle solids. I lived in a suburb of Atlanta in the late 70’s early 80’s. We backed up to a cow pasture. I remember being able to see the Milky Way and Andromeda. I need to go to a Dark Sky Park. The last time I saw a truly dark sky was about twenty-five years ago at the Penguin Parade in NSW, Oz. The guide took us to a different beach to where all the tourists go. It was very dark, and I could see the Magellanic Clouds and Orion was standing on his head. > [@(Old) Prepping for a visit in the MMP](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-prepping-for-a-visit-in-the-mmp/1032376/287): > > **Mollie** Chloé is one pampered pooch. Yes. Yes, she is. Sometimes I think **Squeaky** is jealous, but then I see him pampering her _even more._ **Knots** - 🦛 🐦 🐑 🐑 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-dark-skies-in-the-mmp/1032523)._
