Mooning again

Tonight there was a huge moon -- as close to earth as it gets in a year. So, having picked wrong on the Derby, and having slugged a couple of mint juleps, and having eaten a succulent beef dinner, Grandma and I drove south and scaled majestic Higgins Mountain to catch sight of the big fat moon. It sneaked up on us, as the evening was still quite light and there were a few clouds, but eventually we tracked it, and it was indeed huge. Look how it compares with man's crowning achievement, the cell tower.
Be of good cheer, you who haven't yet mooned. There's a world down here.

  1. I missed you guys on Derby Night! Of course, it isn't the same when the Derby is on at 3:30pm. California living....
