Almost chilly

Posted on August 28, 2007 | Comments Off on Almost chilly

Nice taste of autumn this morning. The thermometer on the patio hovered right at 69 degrees. Cloudy, of course, considering the 40 percent chance of heavy rain this afternoon. A similar forecast all week, but mainly after 1 p.m. so I’ll have a chance to sail again tomorrow morning. My guess is the lunar eclipse wasn’t visible. Sky shows usually aren’t here, thanks to the clouds. I don’t know for sure. I was asleep at the time.

UPDATE: Actually KVUE caught some nice lunar views on video. Requires free registration.

The lunar eclipse from mounted patrol in Iraq:

"At some point while we were digging up the bomb, all the lights down the road went out, leaving the scene [lit] only by the ghostly half-light of the moon. As we pulled off down the road, even that pale illumination faded- the lunar eclipse had come and stolen the light."

Good piece from Teflon Don.
