The tremendous degree of dissonance would be very obvious, I'd think.

I may post a poll this evening, to gauge interest.

I would be interested, although obviously not if it's going to cause you more stress than recompense to record the pieces.

Even through the glare of the waxing gibbous moon and Providence's light pollution, we were given an amazing view of Jupiter and the four Galilean moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. With my own eye, I saw Europa!

Oh, lovely.

I covet that astronomical clock.

I covet that astronomical clock.

Spooky and I feel in love with it.

Maybe it's just me, but the more you spoke, the higher your voice rose.

This isn't surprising. One the one hand, you'd have had an expectation effect, and on the other, the longer I speak, the more self-conscious I become of my voice and so make a greater attempt to control it.

I always feel a heightened excitement when I gaze through a telescope. They seem like gateways to the mysteries of the universe waiting to be discovered by simply opening our eyes, inviting the revelation to appear to us a we drift through the cosmos on our little pebble in the sky.
