Aside from avoiding traffic, I had a little treat for being up this early today. A view of the lunar eclipse. Sure I had to look at it through a screen of trees, but I got to see it with no effort at all. Too bad my camera isn’t up to the task of capturing it.
This just made me think of Comet Hale-Bopp. I was living in the lower Haight in San Francisco when Hale-Bopp was visible. I remember for months seeing it chugging along in the night sky as we crossed Duboce Park, dodging dog poop. Anyone else have a Hale-Bopp memory?
