The conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn
I am not much of an astronomy fan by and large - and so I must admit that I haven't the foggiest how to find Jupiter or Saturn in the night sky (If I'm lucky I can find Venus, Orion, and the big dipper).
Can anyone tell us approximately where in the sky to observe this event, and at what time? I found some info from the Northern Hemisphere that says SW just above the horizon ... but does that apply to us as well? Usually the configurations are 'upside down' as we view them, and things don't become visible in the same way between North and South.
Any pertinent information would be appreciated, thanks.
Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?
There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.
Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
