I wish I had a story that would go with. I write better first lines
than most authors, it's the rest that escapes me.

Or , as a line to start that game I played long ago with literary
types writing a line or two, folding over the paper so only part of
what you wrote showed, passing it to the next person to write a
couplet, repeat folding paper... around the room and then the
last person opens up the whole thing and reads aloud the resulting work.

The absolute worst part, is I went to bed and slept fitfully for
about two hours, woke up and the dog noticed, and let me know he
wanted to go out. Having nothing better to do, except sleep, I threw
on some clothes, and gave him the treat, of an after midnight walk.

Despite the local weather forecast, I went outside a few times to check
if it was visible.
Got one fairly good glimpse at the moon through the clouds before it
started. Not enough to see any details; just barely enough to see there
is texture to the moon's surface. Later there was another glimpse
through thinner clouds when the moon was half covered by the earth's
shadow.
When I checked at the time it was supposed to peak, I saw a dark grey
spot in the clouds where the moon should have been. It lasted for an
instant or so before more clouds rolled in.
I thought about setting my camera up anyway, maybe try to get something
to use for the "Wind" PUG, but I couldn't really figure out how to get
anything other than a grey smear against the darker grey of higher
clouds.
So, anyway, I did see some of the super-moon & eclipse, but never
enough
to justify burning any electrons to try to capture an image.

The moon just disappeared behind a thin layer of clouds here. One

still see moonlight peeking through the clouds, but no moon.
Hope that situation changes...

Looks like it might get a bit hazy but the moon's still low in
the
sky and clearly seen. I think I missed a nice moonrise over the
Lake.
Maybe I'll wander down and see what's what...

From an email I received this afternoon:
Total Lunar Eclipse!
On the evening of September 27th, skywatchers throughout North
America
will be treated to one of nature’s grandest celestial sky
shows –
a
total eclipse of the Moon. And unlike the one in April which
occurred
in the early predawn hours, this one will happen during
convenient
evening ones.
