I missed it... but thank goodness other people took pictures!

  Earlier this week, there was a meteor shower. But… alas. I didn’t get to see any shooting stars. The first night, it was overcast. The second night, it was freezing. So… I gave up after 20 minutes…or when my fingers & toes went numb. Y’know. Reasons. Last night, there was a partial lunar eclipse. Of…
