I went to the Vancouver Molson Indy race last weekend, as I do every year. What a great race. Paul Tracy delivered a complete shit-kicking. He finished with something like an 18 second lead and lapped all but the top four followers. That's two Canadian races in a row and I hope he wins the third and makes this his championship year. The weather was hot and clear and I got several good pictures (which I will post at some point). Oh, I sunburned of course... That part sucked. G, M, Todd, and I also went to the Festival of Lights. Great creativity - many home fashioned lanterns and other light-emitting objects all over the park. Mars was at its -2 magnitude glory as well at midnight, which made things even better. I must get out more often with my telescopes to take advantage of that. Maybe I'll photograph Mars with the digital camera this time.
