Signs You May Be a Little Too Obsessed About Astronomy

• You 'excuse' yourself at gatherings to go outside and look around.
• You visit the sapphire and diamond counter at jewelry stores for a fix during daylight hours.
• You use a solar filter to observe the sun while getting a suntan.
• When someone says you have a spacey personality, you take it as a compliment.
• You've been known to wear sunglasses at night.
• A red flashlight is on your nightstand. ;)
• Your telescopes are an integral part to home decorating.
• You prefer optical glass over Belleek.
• Your answering machine relays the message "Sorry I can't answer the phone, I'm hunting for Venus in the daylight."
• Before starting out for a drive, you make sure that the rear-view mirrors are collimated.
• You find it very illogical and confusing that road atlases are printed with the orientation of looking *down* at the roads, so that east is to the right of north.
• You've replaced all the lights in your house with red bulbs, "just in case" you want to do some spontaneous observing.
• Your will stipulates you be buried inside of your 30" Obsession.
• When people ask what you saw on TV last night, you assume they're referring to your Televue.
• You worry about getting asthma from light pollution.
• You wonder aloud why President Bush hasn't yet commented on "this whole Stellarvue thing."
• The only models of cars you will even consider buying are Chevy Nova, Ford Galaxy and Mitsubishi Eclipse.... and no, the Honda Del Sol does not count.
• You can identify the current positions of all the constellations... even in daylight.
• Before you set your wedding date, you checked first to be sure it wasn't near a new moon.
• Your biggest regret in life is not being able to figure out a cost-effective way to implant GOTO into your skull.
• You were excited about Servicing Mission 3B, but also frustrated because now you've got to update your 11 Hubble models to match the new look of the real Hubble...
• You just don't get the resentment expressed toward you by your daughter, Traveler, and your son, Zambuto.
