    Alas, our dispensaries are still in the stone ages and we see no product in the open :( Small town problems, lol and I don't mind, every time I drive down to Ft Lauderdale to visit pops at Christmas time, I hate it....as soon as I hit the Palm Beach county line, my gun comes out of the glove box...

    The Sandbox: Make test posts here

    I usually will either upload by url to postimage or if I like the image, save to my drive and upload from there...in other words, the images I like I keep locally. Maybe I'll start using imgur again. Started out using imgur here but after the ban, postimage has been reliable.

    Starting with a somewhat depressive item...luckily there are still many places you can go and see an unaltered night sky. This world map shows the effect of artificial night sky brightness on the visual appearance of the night sky. The brightness was modeled using high resolution satellite data...

    Bryce Canyon, Utah. The unusual pattern was created by atmospheric gravity waves, ripples of alternating air pressure that can grow with height as the air thins, in this case about 90 kilometers up. The colors are not from aurora, they are from a phenomena known as airglow and caused by...

    I just saw the moon

    On March 14 the Moon was Full. In an appropriate celebration of Pi day, that put the Moon 3.14 radians (180 degrees) in ecliptic longitude from the Sun in planet Earth's sky. As a bonus for fans of Pi and the night sky, on that date the Moon also passed directly through Earth's umbral shadow in...

    What phase of the Moon is 3.14 radians from the Sun? The Full Moon, of course. Even though the Moon might look full for several days, the Moon is truly at its full phase when it is Pi radians (aka 180 degrees) from the Sun in ecliptic longitude. That's opposite the Sun in planet Earth's sky...

    I can't believe the deal I scored at Green Dragon on Saturday...$15 gram concentrate, 70% THC very nice wax in both Hybrid and Indica. When I saw $15 I thought for sure they would be sold out since we are a smaller market where I live...nope, got 10 :) @Cmdr. Redeye I loved the first rendition...

    The red color of the Moon is caused by the deflection of blue light by Earth's atmosphere. The distortion is an optical effect arising from layers in the Earth's atmosphere that refract light differently due to sudden differences in temperature or pressure. Another reason the Moon looks so...

    See what @Vitolo and I are getting at? Look how tiny the Earth is in this image from the Moon from the Blue Ghost lander and its shadow.
