Are the stars out tonight?
A confluence of events: Clear skies plus sunset at 7:39 p.m. meant that the late-afternoon weather forecast included the forecaster saying, “There’s a good chance for stars tonight!”
Lo & behold, yes, there were stars when I took the dawg out for his evening promenade in the yard.
It’s saying something when the weather forecast includes whether you’re actually going to see stars or not. What it’s saying is that This Is A Rare Event So Take Advantage Of It While You Can.
Sigh. I miss the Milky Way.
