I will not go out unless I know it is going to be good. This means
missing some skies that turn out okay, but the thought of blowing $50 in
gas several times a month seems nuts to me.

I'll save my "for sure" money for summer, the big star parties, and
other trips with a high probability for success....

And, I work at home... I have no idea how commuters are handling this
(meaning, the gas greed).
