You Guys Rock!...Alpine Rocks!...2 great things that go great together!

Hi Everybody! This is Tricia and I was told that this Blog was the place where all the cool people hang out and that anybody that was anybody was writing on it. This is my very first ever Blog posting, so hopefully I'm smart enough to figure out how this stuff works. Anyway, just thought I'd tell you all how super awesome it is that you're coming out and know that we're all bound for a jolly good time!

Also, here's a little peek at the current weather here, so you can start planning your fab. wardrobe selections. By about 10:am or so, it's getting to be between 88-90 deg., warming up to about 93, until prob. 2:00/3:00ish, where it slowly begins to cool off. The early evenings are averaging in the mid to upper 70's and night cools to mid 40's-50's. As for surrounding areas (Ft. Davis, Marfa), the day temps will be similar, but the evenings will be cooler by sometimes 10 deg. Star parties are a big exception and do in fact get cold, even in the dead of summer, so be sure to bring a jacket (or borrow one of ours), and I recommend a hat or similar head covering. Foil hats are acceptable but extraterrestrial contact is highly unlikely, though, I'm sure they'd fit in to this crowd with hardly any notice ;) Another thought on the weather is to remember, we're a lot closer to the sun here, so don't forget your shades and I recommend a good shade hat, and sunblock might be considered.

Check this out...I have 5 free passes for daytime activities at the Observatory and 3 free passes for Star Party. So, I'm thinking a little contest should be held to see who gets them? Something along the lines of, the three people who say the top funny things on a particular day or the three who carry out the best practical joke against Zach, or maybe just whoever buys me the best dessert =) I'll mull it over. What do you think...any contest ideas?

Well, guess I better scoot. Hopefully after writing all this, it actually posts and I don't hit something that, instead makes it disappear... cause that's just the kind of mad skills I have...

Love y'all!
