 Yes indeed bravo, Paul!  Conditions also look good for observations
 from north Florida in the morning, although temps are expected to be
 around 23 degrees F!  That would be almost balmy for Iowa or Oklahoma
 this time of year, but not for Florida.  Our tropical boides just
 aren't used to that kind of thing...;o).  I'll be out anyway in my
 trusty zero degree sleeping bag.  here's hoping the Quads kick some
 serious tail...;o).  Good luck to all who brave the northern winter to
 observe them!
