Hey peeps and comrades.. anybody up checking out the total eclipse happening tonight? I am! I get my thrills anywhere i can and reason to light a couple doobs at 1:30 am. Dark side of the moon and all..

so, they say there's not going to be another total lunar eclipse scheduled for view in N. America again until December 21, 2485. so.. probably a lot of us won't be here! That means.. if you want to see one --- better go check it out now!!!!

I was stoked, but wouldn't you know it, it's been too cloudy over St. Louis all day to see shit.

Same, Jalepeno, I just stood out in a potato field in freezing weather for damn near 45 mins watching a vague crescent blur turn into a vague amorphous blur then be nothing.

I was promised a lunar eclipse, with possibility of meteor showers!

If anybody gets a vid up, I'd love to see.
