Skull, thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out. Unfortunately, the temps here are supposed to drop from 14 to 9 degrees between 8pm and midnight, but maybe I'll be able to see some of it from my window.

Curiously, I noticed the moon twice while driving home from work today. First, as the moon was sitting just above the horizon, I noticed that it was a lovely shade of pink. (It made me think of the Nick Drake song.) Then as I was driving down my street to my apartment building (towards the mountain), the moon was directly in front of me. From the end of the street, it seemed to be sitting on top of the mountain. I love how big the moon looks when it's close to the horizon. As I moved down the road and got closer to the mountain, the moon dropped down behind it until it was out of sight.

I just peeked out my front window. It's back up over the mountain now, but looks tiny compared to how it looked before.
