Lunar Eclipse

[dwndrgn]

Well, I stayed up late to watch the lunar eclipse last night. I just love stuff like that. Makes you feel both wonder and amazement. Also makes you feel kind of insignificant

I was completely surprised to not see anyone else in my neighborhood out watching. Has the world lost its wonder for people?

Of course I watched the eclipse. It was kind of comical, as I was going back and forth from the front porch, from which I had a great view, to inside to see how the baseball game was going. My mom thought I'd lost my mind. Yeah, I know, she's right, but that's another story...

I agree that it is amazing that no one seemed to care. I didn't see anyone else looking at it, either. Okay, so it was a little cool outside, but sheesh, it wasn't even late out here - I think it was about 6:30 when I started watching it. Maybe it's just that I was brought up to watch things like eclipses and comets. I can remember when I was a teenager, my dad came in and woke me up at about 4:30 in the morning one time just so I could see a comet that was in the sky. But most people act like they're afraid to look up at the sky or something. I just don't get it.
