I've been messing with it for about two hours - it's incredible.

And for zippo - nada - zero - no bucks. I have some professional

Amazing.

My dad was quite a star gazer, Tom. He would have absolutely loved

He was 84 when he passed away two years ago, and he would have never

Amazing isn't the word. Who needs a telescope?

Wow, what a timely link. Just the other night I was gazing at the sky
