I wake up before dawn at this time of year. Lately, when I've looked out on clear days, the sky has been dominated by two planets. It's been cloudy lately, but today it's clear and the planets are significantly closer than they were a few days ago. Looks like they'll be at their closest on November 5. I hope I get to see that, but they're beautiful together already.
Oh, and not a hope of seeing Mars in this mix yet, due to dawnlight in that part of the sky.

God, my legs are sore. I am seriously tempted to have a work-at-home day tomorrow. Only problem is, I don't work well at home. Another problem is that the 3 papers we have due this month became 5 papers today.
