Steve - you are too funny.
Palebluedot - being a space buff I love your name, picture and explanation.
Skyguy - awesome telescope, my husband would love it.

Like some other, I was hestiant to use my real name as I had had some bad experiences on other sites. So Parrothead is what I am as a Jimmy Buffett fan. It is kind of a take off on Greatful Deads, Deadheads because Buffett fans get dressed up for concerts and tailgate parties in pretty outrageous outfits usually with a tropical theme. Many used parrots as part of that attire and thus the title of parrothead came about. It was mention at one concert years ago and stuck. There are lots of Parrothead Clubs around the US and all do a lot of Fund Raising. It is a fun thing where you can kind of forget all your troubles and be silly for a while.
