A lunar evening
16 May 2003 09:50It was mostly clear last night so the eclipse was visible. Drove south of town and watched the moon emerge from some clouds and slowly slip into the umbra. A nice quiet, relaxing time - aside from the odd car going by and the light that came with that. The fully eclipsed moon seemed darker and less orange than I recall from other lunar eclipses. I suspect that is due to finally seeing an eclipse without all the dust of a recent big volcanic eruption.
Came home and the moon was finally over the trees and such, if I was in the right place. Saw the end of totality out the bedroom window.
As for other things...
Q: What should be the theme song of the Texas Democrat[ic] Party?
A: Slade's Run Run. "All things to everyone, run, run, away"
Theme song of TX Democrats
"Dems fit the battle of Gerrymander, Gerrymander, Gerrymander,
Dems fit the battle of Gerrymander and the bill come a-tumblin' down."
