Results 1-15 of about 16 containing "linux windows" at the top of the first page of results would have probably precluded me from clicking on "next". I still think it is pretty bad although not as bad as it could be. Cleve At 12:38 PM 11/16/2003 -0600, you wrote: >I jumped the gun here just a bit.

References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Petition local government and business to stop using white lights. That is the single biggest problem. You will notice that LSU uses the yellowish lights that use less energy and have the side benefit of allowing you to see better at night. (Imagine that.) Anyway, I've found that areas like Hammond and even as close as Watson are decent for a bit of stargazing. Did you know Baton Rouge has an astronomy club? ----- Original Message ----- From: "will hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 11:38 AM Subject: [brlug-general] anyone else stargaze? > My observations: > > http://www.hillnotes.org/willhill/doing/star_gaze.html > > Anyone have any tips?
