If anyone wondered where I have been I was in astronomical association's annual main event and came back at 0020 today. (after six hours driving)
Event was about 15 km away from Lappajärvi which lies in old meteorite crater so I visited there before coming back.

    And as "statistics" that crater is youngest known crater in Finland.
