- Kind of reminds me of 1986 when Halley's comet came by. I asked a
- colleague if he wanted to go with me to see it, which involved
- getting up about 4 AM and driving about 100 miles out of
- Dallas/ Fort Worth to where it was dark enough to see it.
-
- He said "Naah, I'll catch it the next time". No joke!
