After 10 days of sitting on the couch and watching TV, my significant other grew disgusted and decided that we should get out of town for a day or two. So, we went up to Flagstaff and dropped by the US Naval Observatory's open house. They had the telescope trained on Jupiter that night, and after waiting in line for 2 hours, we were finally able to catch a glimpse. It was pretty cool; the wind-generated stripes in the planet's atmosphere were visible. We were even able to see a couple of Jupiter's moons.
The next day, we continued north to the Biggest Damn Hole in the United States (or Grand Canyon for short).
While there, we noticed a strange phenomenon. Many of the tourists, when given a choice between taking pictures of The Biggest Damn Hole in the Western Hemisphere, and taking pictures of a glorified rodent, chose the rodent.
Seriously people, they're just rats with big bushy tails. They also cause power outages and are high in cholesterol.
