To the folks of BAUT, people I’ve admired:
May the wonders of the heavens keep you inspired.
Examples like the expansion and dark matter, which stir your mind,
and how the planets wander, knowing ye fear not when they align!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts; to take-up such time has been most kind.

May your work reveal your wisdom, though y’all do make me dizzy,
may your study of SR and GR go relatively easy.
May your posts be articulate, and responding puns diminish - (wink)
and no problems arise from any inclusion of a link,
[Don't forget I still want evidence the Sun's not "peachy pink"!]

I hope your Christmas will be grand, and your presents delightful;
a reprieve from debunking all those things feared frightful.
Perhaps a large present will become a Christmas surprise:
An equatorial and primary of considerable size,
with dome, laptop, and image system besides.

Then back you'll come to discuss what's been posted.
Hopefully, your conclusions will be toasted and never roasted.
So much is happening and in so many places:
Water signs on Mars and all those faces.
Yeah hah! Phoenix will soon be going through it's paces.

Yep, much is coming dead ahead
So, think of some of what I've said.
Your posts will likely make me wiser each day.
Thanks for great lessons in astronomy found here and every day.
Thanks to you, I've learned much, and without having to pay!

[BAUT to have existed years ago would have been my wish.
It might even have helped me pass English.]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Special Thanks to Fraser and Phil,
Great hosts whose shoes no others can fill.

Hi, George my friend

wish you all the best for the Merry Christmas Festival there and a very happy and prosperous new year.

I am reminding that thread "which colour of sunlight" by you.
