It’s nights like tonight that make me wish we had a telescope. The air is crisp and clean with a clear, beautiful night sky. It’s a perfect night for star gazing. My husband has often mentioned how he would like a telescope for a Christmas or a birthday present. If the weather keeps being so nice then this might be the year he finally gets his wish. I had one for my Sims family. The Sims daughter was abducted one night by aliens. After that all she ever wanted to talk about was her abduction. It’s a drawback to being abducted in the Sims is that it becomes your Sims favorite topic of conversation.

While thumbing through some telescope websites, I came across a site that also sells radar detectors. I love gadgets, but this is one gadget that I have never really wanted or needed. A radar detector is a great for those who drive a little fast. I have an aunt who has a “lead foot.” She makes a 10 hour trip in about 8. She should have a bunch of radar detectors.

The spyglass telescope on OpticSale.com is very cool. We are pirate-crazy around here, and this would make a great gift. I may have to order two so I can keep one.
