 The first "big" assignment for my astro 101 class was due this morning (which is taking a picture of the sunset from a place with a good clear horizon view, and documenting the time and location - they'll repeat this throughout the term). Of course, it was cloudy at sunset last night, so now I have 26 emails asking for extensions.

I'll extend it for everyone... I should really be tough and say "that's ground-based observing for you!" but I actually want them to do the assignment.
