jceman 1 #1 May 16, 2003 and there is a dragon eating the moon! Oh, gods and little fishes! What will we do? Quick, we have to find a virgin sacrifice! Oh dog, we're in big trouble. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indyz 1 #2 May 16, 2003 Just saw on TV: "Witness tonight's lunar eclipse live without leaving the comfort of your home." Are people too lazy to even walk outside and look up anymore? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,584 #4 May 16, 2003 I was too. I went to a play with some friends, and then out to dessert. Lovely evening, topped off by riding home on my motorcycle during just about the whole of near-totality and totality (I took the scenic route). It was so cool -- I looked for unlit streets and actually found some so I could look up, and hope no cats or dogs were running in front of me. I was bummed at first when a train stopped me, but actually, there wasn't a streetlight at that corner, and the headlights of the oncoming traffic were hidden by the train -- talk about serendipity. I got home just as the light was really hitting the moon again, and broke out the binoculars. Got to look at the side of the moon, and some of the features in relief. Somehow it's so much more real-seeming to me when I can really see its roundness by the light and shadow on it.
