Here in Arizona, during the monsoon, it _could_ be raining buckets across the street while some guy on the other side of the street is observing a 14th magnitude variable. This hypothetical observer _could_ also get a few drops from the downpour across the street. He desperately needs to join the 12-step program for varaible star addicts (with apologies to any 12-step members out there)! But, oh, the spots on the objective!
