=======================================

     We would like to thank all those folks who attended Smokey’s4th Annual Super Bowl Bash! We really appreciate your patronage.  Also, a very special thanks to those folks who donated to the cause of the little boy who needed to get to Tijuana and San Diego in an effort to save his vision. We made one announcement and made the first $100 donation and in a matter of minutes about $800 was raised. The names of the generous are too numerous to mention here but I would like to make special mention of Don and Janet Berry of “Bite Me Sportfishing” out of Palmas de Cortes who won the final Vizio TV. Within seconds of my announcing their names, the Berry’s opted for the cash value ($300) of the TV and requested that it be donated to the cause. So again, thanks so much.
     As for the TV winners, congrats to Mike Craja of Los Frailes, the aforementioned Don and Janet Berry and Sheila Marshall who somehow managed to take home two! Football pool winners included Tex, Sandy Hall, Corte, Cristian Omar, Rocio  Salcedo, Cindy P., Dwayne J., Tish and some guy named El Pelon. Congratsto them too! Thank you to Charlie from the Chocolate Factory for donatinga 20-piece box of chocolates which was won by Theresa Comber. Once again thanks to all those who attended, we hope you had a bunch of fun!   Smokedoggydogg & The Princess

NIGHT SKY  - Via Tom in La Ventana
Baja Night Sky for Thursday, February 9. If there is a break in the cloud cover by 7:10pm you should be able to spot the ISS rising in the west south of bright Venus around 7:14pm. During its 4-minute pass, the ISS will provide a tour of some of the brightest and most interesting stars in the winter sky. It will head east towards Orion, easily identified by the 3 bright stars in his belt, the red giant Betelgeuse at his upper left, and the white star Rigel at his lower right. Betelgeuse, a giant star that dwarfs our sun, is more or less the center of the winter hexagon or circle, 6 of the brightest stars in the sky. About 7:16:30pm the ISS will enter the winter hexagon and pass just above Rigel. A minute and 15 seconds later it will pass above the twin stars Castor and Pollux before finally disappearing over mainland Mexico in the NE. (In Los Barilles, the ISS will appear to cross Aldebaran instead). Starting back at Rigel, head down 3 fists to the lower left to Sirius, the brightest start in the night sky and 6th closest to earth at 8.7 light years. Sirius is actually two stars revolving around their common center of gravity. Continue clockwise 3 fists to your left and slightly up to Procyon, then 3 more fists up to one of the twin stars, Pollux the brightest star in the night sky with a known planet. Three more fists to the upper right along the next side of the hexagon takes you to Capella, 7th brightest start right after 6th place Rigel. Moving west 3 fists to your right from Capella brings you to Aldebaran, another red giant and the eye of the bull in the V-shaped constellation of Taurus. Finally, drop back down to Rigel to complete the trip around the winter hexagon. Note: Thanks to Dan in the campground for his fascinating tour of the sky, the Andromeda galaxy, and the winter hexagon/circle a few weeks ago.
