BTW, don't deprive yourself. I bought a 4.5" telescope at Costco after the Christmas clearance for $150. They have one NOW for $199 (after coupon) and this one has a finder computer and motor drives. It is a Meade. I use mine about 12-15 times a year and am considering joining the local amateur astronomy to gain access to a large aperture Dobsonian.

LOL! That's about what I spend on cheer in a day! I really am going to buy one, though.

Now, you're trying to assimilate our ideas, and I'm trying to assimilate yours!

The discoveries in science only seek to reinforce my sense of connectedness with other creatures, the space we live in and a greater "plan"

This really strikes a chord with me. I believe there is at least one other participant here that would embrace that idea, but I can only speak for myself...

I think we're all a bit worn out trying to think about infinity, but I'm sure there are lots of good debates to come... <ggg>

Why do humans seem to have the need for a plan, a reason for being here. Maybe we just are. My cat doesn't give a rip about any great plan, and he is always enjoying life. Maybe we should be more like the animals.
