chatted with Nicole

Chatted with Nicole via Facebook.

I wondered when she was going to visit the CAO this season. She said she was already teed-up to visit on the August weekend when I was on duty.

She also said she wanted some help with polar alignment. She was very frustrated. Happy to help.

Thunderstorms were brewing as we talked. I asked her for recommendations on web sites for local lightning strike information. She recommended Wunderground and then turning on the lightning feature. She also suggested http://RAYdar.ca/. I tried both. And really liked the dynamic map on the latter. She was trying to photograph hits on the CN tower...

Finally, I asked her if I could pick her brain. As a successful author, I wanted to get some advice on publishing my own books.
