After a very long, cold and soaking wet walk yesterday I went to be early, about
8pm. I woke up at 2:30am to use the john and as I got up I looked outside,
almost no lights at all!
So after I took care of the need, I put a jacket and went outside to see what
was up. A very odd sight for the High Desert.
The sky overhead was mostly clear, Orion is overhead to the southwest a bit,
with Saturn almost right overhead. Towards the south theres a bit of clouds and
the palmdale/lancaster skyglow almost makes it look like a comeing sunrise, but
to give this al the right effect, here on the ground we are socked in with a
layer of FOG, I can't see move than a few yards. I can even hear the cars on the
freeway slowing down a bit.

But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."
