Belated congrats on your Messier Certificate. I think I saw your observing logbook at an event this spring at the DDO, but it didn't register with me yet. I hadn't been getting updates from you for Certificate Corner. Have the national observing committee come through with your certificate and pin yet? If not, please get someone to photograph you getting the treatment. I guess we should take care of that for you actually.A funny read.
Lots of thoughts, again... And then for each sentence:
- Thank you. Sort of. I accept the accolade for completing the list.
- I don't think so. I never gave a log book to anyone per se. And besides. It's all online! Maybe, when at the DDO, I showed someone a sketch. Even then, I only finished viewing all the Messiers in May. He must be thinking of someone else, I wondered.
- That's because I did not submit items to the SCOPE certificate section.
- No one at national provided a certificate or pin. That's because I didn't submit anything to them either.
- Don't hold your breath for a photograph of someone giving me a pin!
- Ha. I agree...

I understand, and if I take myself back a few days I don't think I was preparing to "out" you in print as a surprise. But browsing here is a good place for me to check if I missed something getting ready for a new issue or meeting, since in this case if the above had been "made official" and that had been your wish, I still wouldn't have been at the meeting to see it.
Once I've read between your lines, I think in future if I see something that looks like local news I missed I might hit you up for some detail (but you were very details about the headlights incident, thank you!) It might not be any of my business for bothering you about including things in SCOPE in future since as I said elsewhere this is my 24th issue...
