They had a sneaky handicapping system. The full ride goes from town
up to the top of the observatory, and could theoretically leave the
observatory for the national park about the same time as the ones
doing the shorter ride down the observatory into the NP. But in order
to give the shorter riders an advantage, they tempt us with coffee and
muffins at the top.

Anyway, I was the first down the mountain of the guys I left with,
which is what counts. Ah, local knowledge. I bet they even used
brakes on some of the corners.

Time is nature's way of making sure that everything doesn't happen at once.
And space is so that it doesn't all happen to you.

Sorry I missed it. I'll get a report on Sunday from the Dubboites who
did go.

Hey Tim, does your observatory cater for tourists, or is it strictly
business? I'm thinking of bringing my kids up for a gander over the
school holidays.

There's an exploratory which may or may not be open after July ("come
quick, it may be your last chance!"). But our visitors gallery where
you get to peer *at* the big scope is always open. Can't use the
telescope though of course.

Go to skywatch closer to town to look through 'scopes.

Thanks for the info Tim. Yes, I was just wanting to look at it, wasn't
expecting to look through!

Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one
instruction. By induction, every program can be reduced to one instruction
which doesn't work.
