...
The hour drew near, the sky still clear. I began putting on layers of warm clothes because it was darn cold out there. Over a week of not even needing to put on some pants or socks and suddenly it was cold again. I went in my room piled with things little used and fished out some nice warm gloves. Ready for my hour with the moon just about exactly at the moment of full eclipse, I stepped out into the drive to see the last sliver of light on the right side of it... disappearing into a quickly thickening haze.
Fuck.
That had just happened to Old Uncle Dave an hour earlier, but he sent me the link to where he was watching it online. So, shit. I'll go back in and check that out.
My internet connection went dead right in the middle of loading the page.
Seriously.
Fuck.
