Light pollution

Gah! I don't understand some peoples ideas at times. Let's see, power energy crisis, fiscal constraint, so therefore we must replace existing light bulbs to something vastly more inefficient that will increase the electric cost to even use. Not to mention the cost of replacing all the lights. Stuff like this also kills astronomers chances of doing research due to all of the light pollution. And with some of the light pollution, there is no way to filter it out at all. The telescope essentially becomes useless. All of this based on what is anecdotal evidence at best and other annoying reasons. Article is here if you want to view what I'm referring to.

Blech

I've been having a problem with a bad headache since late friday and it's starting to cause me some serious problems. I had a paper due today, but thankfully it had been pushed back to wednesday anyway. But I also have 140 pages of a text to read for wed as well. I'm in no shape to do either thing. I tired to, but I kept passing out. I wound up asleep for most of today as a result. I took some gravol yesturday and this morning, so it's been hitting me. Then again, I wasn't exactly fighting it all that much either. So I've essentially taken today off(didn't even go to class which is not something I do very often at all) and I'm resting. Tomorrow I'm going to have a lot of work to do which will probably mean a late night and I hopefully won't have a headache. *sighs*
