Red orange skies
Swirly clouds as if mixing and
Paving way for the upcoming show tonight,
But with the moon nowhere in sight.
Freeway signs warning of gusty winds down the Pass,
I felt no gust nor breeze.
It’s probably an old sign from the day before
Which had been forgotten and ignored.
Outward display of things to come
Did you know that this hasn’t happened since 1982?
A “cosmic trifecta of a supermoon” is what the Nat Geo calls it.
Not one or two but three(!) to outdo.
Thirty five years in the making, a blue moon and a total lunar eclipse. Nowhere on Earth has this been surpassed (not a fib).
Did you know, too, that this is a first to be seen
in one hundred fifty years in the Americas?
So, look up and watch out for this showy moon to begin and carry through completion,
This is a fact, not fiction.
Prepare and get your gears ready.
While I, for sure, will be looking up occasionally,
Driving down the Cajon Pass
With accelerator and brakes at the steady.

It has taken 26 years for this to reoccur? Is that for real?
Happy day to you and yours.

No fibbing! You better look up tonight or early morning, if you can. You still got one good eye!

This piece was worthy of the bloke with the funny little army hat that follows everybody and occasionally makes lengthy and deeply tedious comments. That’s how good this piece was!

I had no idea! Thanks for the update, although we’re totally cloud-covered and getting some snow here. I’ll check the time for the show here in PA.

I know, hoping for clear skies here too. But it’s okay. I love clouds anyways 😉

I didn’t read your message until now at 7:24am. Too bad, the moon had already set. Had I seen this an hour earlier, I could have warned you that it’s not too late to see it!
