I saw Hale-Bopp, low in the sky early in '97. Oddest thing: I consider
myself a pretty rational guy, but I just stood there and stared, and
stared, and stared. Just like when I saw Saturn through a telescope
the first time. (It was a pretty big telescope, compared to the ones
you can get at Wal-Mart). Very nearly a spiritual experience.

Keep seeking 'em out. You won't regret it.
