Eclipse Update

Robert Burns said "the best laid plans of mice and men will often go astray."  That sums up my eclipse experience Tuesday morning. I got up in plenty of time and went to check the weather on the balcony.  I could see the stars so it was clear!  I looked around for the moon though and couldn't find it.  I went back in the bedroom and pulled up the blinds, and there it was.  I could watch it from the comfort of my bed so I wouldn't even have to go outside in the cold!  The eclipse was to start at 7:30.  At 7:15 the moon set behind the hill!  Which means I didn't even have a chance to see any of the show.  So I hope some folks in the world got to see this amazing wonder of God's creation.
