Just curious. Don't forget to be careful, we don't want you all to go blind. Especially when there's a much better way to go blind (and get hairy palms). Edited for safety warning!

2. I think I have too many trees
around the house. It's supposed to be at sunrise here and I think it'll happen too close to the horizon for me to see (either that or it'll be raining). I'd love to see it though.
