On a nicer note ...

We are having a total lunar eclipse right now and it is so neat~ I prefer a total SOLAR eclipse of course -- they are much more spectacular -- but lunar ones are special too. In Northern Oregon, the moon was partially eclipsed as it rose in the Eastern skies this evening. It got to totality around 7 pm and the total phase lasted almost a full hour! The face of it darkenned to an orange colour. Now it is almost halfway un-covered again.

So lucky that you got to see it. Guess why we didnt? Snow. How is that for irony?

OH wowowowowow -- In a way I would still rather have the snow cuz we are finished with our snow season (and didn't get any)

But yeah I am glad we got to see the lunar eclipse -- I sure wish I could see a SOLAR eclipse again some day.
