No people. Another rain out, the 14th Friday we didn't even try to open not to mention 5 tries that ended in very premature closings.For everyone's information I have added a highly detailed map of the surface of Mars as it will be seen from Earth on the day of its closest approach. You can reach it by clicking on the Changing Information button and then clicking the Mars image. A word of caution, it is a large (500K) image and takes a while to download on slow connections.Some of you may have noticed that the Satellite Cloud Coverage map is gone. The Weather Channel has decided to streamline its web site by removing all the maps except for the temperature map. They are not showing cloud coverage or rain radar even for themselves let alone supplying it to other such as us. We liked this feature and are sorry to see it go. I have requested that we be given similar access to Doppler 10,000 radar at another site. At such time as this permission is granted we will see the return of some form of weather radar. -Les Coleman
