	I've been in San Antonio the last 5 yrs and haven't taken any real trips out
	of city limits to dark locations during that time.  I arrived in northern
	California yesterday and went outside last night and looked up and had to
	sit down a few minutes and take it all in.  I FORGOT WHAT THE SKY LOOKS
	LIKE!  I'm now on the list of crusaders to wipe out light pollution.
	
	I'm here at Beale AFB in CA for the next 3 months.  Are there any ATM or
	astronomy related events happening this summer w/in an hour two drive from
	the Yuba City/Marysville area?  Or is there anyone in the area that's an
	ATM'er that wouldn't mind some company on a night or two while doing some
	viewing or scope making?  I'd like to use some of my free time doing
	something other that setting at this laptop.
