Love this. Wish I knew better how to draw that bigger circle.

Yes, I am quite looking forward to it. The Milky Way should be in sight also. Trouble is my camera is only my cell phone, and not good enough to capture it.

She's looking fine tonight. Hope tomorrow is as clear.

We haven't had a clear night all summer long. Occasionally it'll be clear just after sunset, but within an hour or two, the clouds roll in like they do every single night. It's rather depressing, really, because I long to see the stars, but all I ever see instead is the slate gray ceiling of impenetrable clouds. I feel like we live under a giant rock. Statistics show that our area received only ~70 days of sunshine all year, and most of those are in the winter.

I have to admit, though, that the presence of a super moon will cancel out the meteor shower. Only the brightest meteors will be seen through the bright light of the moon.

I used to be a gate guard at Pebble Beach, a privately held tourist drive through near Monterey. People would drive up on foggy Summer mornings and ask when might a better time be to take the drive. I would answer, "October."

Yup. All of Big Sur, to the south of where you were, is like that. Its often so thick that it appears like someone stole the ocean...

Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?

SOVEREIGN INDIAN: This is the chicken's inherent right as he is indigenous to this land!!!

MILITANT INDIAN: That chicken should block the road, not cross the road!!!

GRASSROOT INDIAN: If the darn chickens need to get across the road, let 'em cross the darn road!

COLONIZED INDIAN: Chiggens should never cross the roads that white men built before the great white father crosses it first. If the white father crosses it, it is good. We must then follow.

AMERICANIZED INDIAN: We must have roads. We must cross the roads that the white man built for us. We have to be thankful to the white man for this. I don't know why you Indians are always complaining. You embarrass us. Chickens are good for us.

REPUBLICAN INDIAN: It's true that that white man built those roads for us. We are merely chickens. We will always be chickens until we learn to build those roads ourselves -- for profit.

DEMOCRATIC INDIAN: The chicken crossed the road because he didn't have enough funding.

TRADITIONAL INDIAN: Those chiggens weren't traditional because they were supposed to be on it -- not crossing it!

INDIAN GRANDPA: I think he was runnin' away from rezidential school.

URBAN INDIAN: That chicken crossed the road 'cause it was a city, man. You know what I mean?

NEW AGE INDIAN: It was basically because of Jungian dream therapy, drumming, sweatlodges, my shaman, and long walks on the beach, near my beach house.

POW WOW INDIAN: That chicken must have been heading to a 49!

EDUCATED INDIAN: I think it has to do with Einstein's theory which basically posits: "Did the chicken really cross the road or did the road move beneath the chicken?"

REZ INDIAN: What's a chicken?

IHS INDIAN: I really don't care why he crossed that road. We still aren't paying for no stinkin' hospital bills.

BIA INDIAN: They crossed it because of CFR 49, Section 11299, gives them the authority to do so, under Department of Interior regulations, in the Executive Branch. They wrote a grant and we funded them. We are very proud of them.

KFC INDIAN: I'll take a leg, a thigh, with corn and potatoes. Extra crispy, please.

And finally...

TRIBAL INDIAN COUNCIL: The chicken crossed the road without our approval! Fire his family!!
