The so-called Blood Moon has come and gone. I watched the moon's face slowly vanish in a welter of red. At 3:30 in the morning, and lasting for quite some time, it looked like the moon had been replaced by Mars. While I craned my neck upward, I saw at least three meteors leave brief, white scratches across the star-speckled black. The crickets sang, and out front, four deer munched grass. One teacher and a couple of kids, up to use the bathroom, also got to see it.
I love it when these things happen on nights when I'm at work. Not only am I already up, but I'm getting paid.
The blood had almost completely drained away by the time the moon met the line of Redwoods on the ridge to the west.
