Massive weather front moving in, no star gazing or eclipse watching in Joshua Tree tonight…
If you say so…

I forgot to look. ![]()
Here’s how I did it on my way to work early this morning:
- I walked outside
- I looked up
It really wasn’t that tough.
The moon was too low to view from the back yard, so I set up the kids’ telescopes in the front yard. We got to see it in nearly full redness before they really needed to go to bed. ![]()
It was good being set up in the front yard for a change; the neighbour was out walking with her restless baby, so she had a view as well. She wouldn’t have seen us in our usual dark backyard patch. I could hear voices around the neighbourhood in their yards - kids with questions, grown-ups answering, people on phones “Yeah, I’m looking at it now.” In a world of on-demand entertainment, it was nice to feel everyone stop and do something together.
