57130--what do you do on the day after an eclipse?

Get stuff ready for a trip down the coast. We are heading down to Cambria for a few days, and then down to LA to see my family. I took the big car to be serviced this morning, and then a car wash. Forgot to get gas.



I stayed up until after 2:30 am watching the eclipse. Even though I've seen eclipses before, there is a sort of magic to them that never fails to impress. Radioparadise.com had a great eclipse set playing, and I listened to that as I watched and took pictures. It was cloudy during the penumbral eclipse, but cleared up nicely. I know some of my friends had clouds that obscured their view, so I felt fortunate.



My favorite picture of the evening was this one, that shows the red moon, Mars up in the right corner, and Spica, to the right of the moon.

I got to bed late, and had to get up fairly early, and now I am sleepy.



How will you know if you found me at last
'Cause I'll be the one, be the one, be the one
With my heart in my lap
I'm so tired, I'm so tired
And I wish I was the moon tonight
