What a Great Weekend!
It was such a nice Harmonic Accordian, or was that Concussion, or whatever it was on Saturday night. Oh, I know....Lunar Eclipse! Yeah, that's the ticket. Anyway, it was a beautiful eclipse. I watched it until the clouds obscured the view just before totality. My husband, the amazing Wessiepooh, had a small telescope we used to look, and it was absolutely stunning.
I couldn't help but be struck that ancient people looking up at the same sight were confused and possibly fearful. The beautiful moon disappeared, then reappeared. Whereas, now we can tell when it's going to happen, pick up a telescope and go outside. Of course, along with that ability, we have to put up with things like shopping center searchlights, airplane lights, and other technological impediments to a beautifully clear night sky.
Anyway, I got the workings done I had wanted to do, and went inside when the cold and clouds got to me. It was, indeed, very beautiful, and very worth skipping bad Saturday night television to see.
