Thanks! It's an 11-inch (diameter of the main mirror) computerized Schmidt-Cassegrain. It's fantastic! As I said in my profile, I do a lot of sidewalk astronomy, mainly twice monthly in Gulfport during their "gallery walk" nights. Unfortunately, since we're experiencing an "el nino" winter, we'll had a run of cloudy, rainly weather this season. (Doesn't "el nino" refer to to baby Jesus...?) Most of our observing events have been clouded out the last couple of months. But, next year we should be back to normal, which means clear skies and great observing during the fall and winter--and also, of course, the threat of an active hurricane season. But we Floridians are pretty hardy and used to that anxious time of the year...
Cheers!

- Hi, Jeff--
Good to hear from another local atheist! I'm a "native" of St. Petersburg, and my wife, Liz (also an atheist), is from Oldsmar.
I've been calling myself an atheist, at least in my own mind, since at least the early '80s. I've yet to "come out" to both my parents, though. Mom is very active in her church and I don't want to upset her. Guess she'd be OK with it, though. Dad's more open minded, but we're not that close. I suspect they both know, however, since I've written numerous letters to the editor over the years about freethought and humanistic issues, and they both live in St. Pete.
Thanks for contacting me, and hope we can keep a dialog open. (I tend to be away from the Web for days at a time, so I'll apologize in advance for maybe not getting back to you right away...)
Cheers!
Greg Simpson

Signing Atheists
I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.
Loren Miller replied to Eric's discussion Vatican halted trial for man accused by deaf boys in the group Signing Atheists"I don't know if this is the trial you're referring to, and unfortunately, your link no longer refers to an active page, but back in February of 2013, HBO aired a brilliant if disturbing piece: Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God,…"
Dennis Michael Pennington commented on blue pashmina's blog post Not believing in an afterlife does not mean i am a "sad' person."Living forever is not what it's cracked up to be. I'm not sad, but I do get tired more often. Imagine how sad and tired you would be after a few hundred years of singing praises and hosannas with God. Maybe it wouldn't even take that…"

Dennis Michael Pennington commented on Wyatt's blog post Theists, Cargo Cults, and Logic"I agree with Two Cult Survivor. The theist already knows that he is correct, and he has the evidence, the Holy Bible - the "word of God." The theist puts it on YOU to show evidence that God is non-existent and he walks around talking to…"

@Randall. I tend to agree about rednecks. Personal bias on my part, but the sound of Country and Western music is, to me, the equivalent of a knife scraping against a…"
