Crumby’s Miscellaneous Adventure

Off I headed to Llano County. Many perils did I pass along the way. There were llamas. There were blancos. There was this, that or the other. Yet at last I finally arrived at my destination. Merciful Goddess, thank you for sparing me. The worst I got out of the perilous journey was a delicious fountain RC. Generally speaking, the Llanites are a bunch of ignoramuses. But how ignorant can they be when they vend fountain RCs. Praise the WG for fountain RC.

But religious affiliations aside, suddenly the sky darkened. Crumby found himself, chock full of RC, spared from certain death, yet in possession of a great red tube under fairly dark skies with only moderate pollution. As the night wore on, two entirely new, for Crumby, heavenly phenomena revealed themselves. These twain are the Leo Triplet and the Western Veil Nebula. Heretofore, at the CB, Crumby had never espied the third component of the Leo Triplet. Espying only twain of a triplet is a certain letdown, misery, trouble, failure, demon affliction, curse, etc. But now, Crumby has espied the triplet. So, once again, the universe is in balance. Fear not, stupidos!

The only part of the Veil Nebula Crumby could actually espy was the western part around that bright star, what’s its name. An OIII filter was essential.

Then, back home at the CB, Crumby found another lady bug kind or type today. This one is super little, like 3mm. What a gosh dang runt! Scymnus species maybe.
