Crumby’ Telescope Tomfoolery Notes - Orion, Just Feel the Interest
Dang! Uh, excuse me Lovely Druidess Rayetta. I know y’all feel like Ray needs to wear those lead boots outside, but he’s liable to chafe himself.
Well, if that’s your foretelling Crumby, you need to make up another batch of anti-chafe ointment for Ray. Ray needs to wear those boots at this stage of his training. I have a lot of time and energy invested in brother Ray and don’t wish to see him "heel afflicted" after all that time and energy and have all that go to waste. Do you understand, Crumby?
Yepper. All righty then. I’ll get right on it Rayetta.
The Lovely Druidess, having so instructed Crumby, sashays off in the general direction of the east pasture, leaving the Ovate all alone in the lab..
Er. Let’s see here. What’s my bosom companion been spelling? Er, hello! Mopsus. I wonder if that’s the seer Mopsus, and therefore, in the same line of work as us ovates. Possibly. The Lapiths are first cousins to the Centaurs and also distantly related to the Scythians and therefore, kinfolk. I did not know that any Mopsus had ever gone the Sun God route though. Too bad about the Black Snake of Libya getting him. But that’s a common problem in the ovation business. Big events and phenomena are easy to ovate, but something as little as the antics of a snake, is way harder.
Kepler is a good example. He could predict the actions of the planetary spheres, but not the internment of his mom by the Christian poohbahs of his day, maybe. Although he may have known his mom was going to get busted, and couldn’t do anything to prevent that sad occurrence. Or like me, I foretold that I would spend many happy hours espying the wonders of Orion and his pack of dogs, and that has come to pass. But on my journeys to and fro in the stygian darkness, I can not always accurately foretell the location of manure events.
The constellation Orion is very interesting. I feel that given the pollution one has to contend with in these parts, Orion, despite all the pollution, is especially interesting. In fact, given all the pollution, Orion is the best of all the many constellations, I feel like, in terms of the general potential interest of a homebound astronomer in these parts. That’s just how I feel.
