Well, that’s partially why I had to go to an 8,911 ft summit to see it. You can see the light pollution from downtown Reno at the bottom. Luckily, there weren’t any clouds at 10pm; there were passing over Lake Tahoe earlier in the day. I imagine a lot of people in the main band that cut across the country didn’t get to see it because of light pollution. We were at least 4-500 miles away from the edges it’s band, which is why a time lapse was needed to catch anything.

Has anyone else seen them?

Thanks! Believe it or not, you can’t really see it with the naked eye. I took it with a time lapse on my phone.

Seen from Mt Rose over Reno….

Marching Band, although I didn’t actually “enroll” in the class portion.

I would imaging a lot of the students of defunct for-profit schools have lost their transcripts for good. Transferring records would be an arduous process even for the smallest of trade schools.

I've lived about 7 miles from the beach, and I've never had the urge to go either. Having beach weather is awesome. Actually being at the crowded beach, no so much.

Sorry, the context there was that it wouldn’t be part of a government record because it’s a university service, as evidenced by the fact they charge for it. For a multitude of reasons, most universities would be loathe to share information with the government outside of what would be required for a loan. The only way it would be is if the university goes defunct and at least some of the records are transferred to the DoE for criminal or loan forgiveness purposes or if you are required to provide proof of education to a government agency. Chances are if you paid off your education and loans, the government won’t have your records,

Margarita I made in the ice cream machine. Oh and home made steak fajitas.

I don’t think that’s usually the case. I had to pay a relatively small fee to access my transcripts at a private university, but I would assume it’s the same for a public university. The only thing that may be publicly accessible is whether or not you’re a degree holder, and that would be presumably because a degree might be a requirement for employment or certification/licensing. It would also be through your university and not the government.

Hopefully that was just your undergrad.

$1,700 doesn’t seem bad to me, at least not for new instrument, but that wouldn’t include the amp. What’s one of those going to run?

You're not going to get a shitty guitar like that from BMG or Gibson. When you're guitar shopping, what features do you look for and why?

Playing a guitar isn't like playing a trumpet, so it's hard to gauge. The workmanship on a trumpet matters greatly, but not if you're a shitty trumpet player to begin with. I would imagine that the guitar matters less to sound at the upper level of guitar musicianship, aside from the various electrical components.

So there's no sound penalty?

What would be the primary difference between a Professional and a Studio model? My experience is with brass and the differences are easy to identify because the difference in price between a professional and an intermediate model comes down almost entirely to workmanship.

Well, not his actual custom instrument. It's the design he came up with his dad originally because he couldn't afford the commercially available instruments at the time.

For the record and since absolutely no one asked.... it looks like new Les Pauls are roughly the same price as a professional level wind instrument (in the $2-3k range) while the Red Special is in line with most intermediate level wind instruments (around $1k). That's neither here nor there, of course, but you would naturally compare each instrument to others in the same price range as a starting point.

I think those are Brian May Guitars, so it's the custom he built for himself originally.

Happy Birthday!

That’s a really stupid question by the way.

I’m sending D-Lo and Rui over to launch bricks at Buddy’s house.

Nice.

You would have known that if you played fantasy ball with us.
