The 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth’s rotational axis with respect to its orbital plane is in part responsible for life as we know it. It is also responsible for the fact that the gloom is getting gloomier these days for the F3 PAX gathering in the Northern Hemisphere (do we have any PAX in the Southern Hemisphere???). This was a particularly clear morning, and in the relative darkness of Abita Springs, Louisiana, Nacho Libre employed his doctoral-level grasp of astronomy to suggest that just about every group of stars in the heavens is indeed Ursa Major.

There is a hill in Abita Springs?
My friend German (I think we named him Fernet) lives in Salta, Argentina, although I am sure the only F3 workout he ever attended was in Audubon Park in the Northern Hemisphere.
