clear skies! write what you saw, or ask what that bright thing was (it was Jupiter)

the Kara-Buura road stop with the mountains (my polaroid no. 8) is where my dad watched the Perseids in 1989. he says he saw a hundred. he also says a lot of things
emil: a hundred in 1989 is believable! less light then. tell him 41 in 2025 and that I'm jealous

Ürkör jerge kirdi is in Ishakov, in Kök Jal, the spring chapter. I never knew it was a real thing you could check. I'm reading it again
emil: it's real! check it yourself on 1 May, west, just after sunset. you will see it go

on a runway with no lights the sky is crazy. we saw a satellite flare like a camera flash. what was it
emil: a satellite's flat panel catching the sun for a second. the old Iridium ones did it best, a few still fly. you were lucky

Ermek-baike says Jeti Karakchy are seven marshrutka drivers chasing two passengers. I'm putting it in a strip
emil: I want credit in the strip. as a star

can you see stars from Nurzhan or is it hopeless? the cats watch something every night from the garage roof
emil: the refinery flare is brighter than Venus, I won't lie. but the cats are probably watching Jupiter. or a moth

I am a physics teacher. I showed the planisphere to my 9th grade and they turned it for the whole lesson. Thank you. Two of them now want to study at TSU.
emil: this is the best thing anyone has written in this guestbook. tell them Tuesday, fourth floor, south balcony

in the Easterns the hero always rides toward the pole star at the end. now I know why
emil: toward Irad. the directors knew exactly what they were doing
