Orion was out. Another winter so soon?
Got up to see the eclipse last night. The moon was small and dark orange. I wished for the millionth time that there weren't a streetlight on my corner. The night was mild, as they all are this month. My girl-cat meowed at me a bunch of times from my window, but didn't come out to watch the eclipse. I went back to bed, instead.
An hour later, still sleepless, I came back out to check again. Yes - she was back. Bright, not yet round, but clearly returned to us. Satisfied we hadn't lost her, I came back in and went straight to sleep.

I'm kind of bummed that I didn't know about the eclipse until someone mentioned it at work this morning. Why isn't an eclipse a news story anymore?
Yeah, nobody told me neither. And such a fat juicy moon at that.
Did you see that New Yorker piece a few weeks ago about light pollution, and the valid, effect ways to reduce it by good engineering? The more we learn, the more opportunities for redesign present themselves.
I would LOVE to get a shield on that streetlight. The corner would be extremely dark without it. Midtown has very few streetlights and none mid-block. Since there is a LOT of people traffic, I know we need a light. I just wish it weren't flooding my corner.
I saw that moon. It was gorgeous.
