Harvest Moon

The Harvest Moon was up, though waning all week. It makes for great running in the dark mornings that are now the norm in early autumn. In particular, early in the week, I got to the trail portion of the run, and though the moon is there, I still need to turn on my little buster brown flashlight...and am just down a few yards when a big night bird flies right over head. The ghostly light cast by the LED flash is just enough to make it easy to miss the rocks in the trail, but certainly not enough to make one feel completely at ease. The bird was just at the top of the cylinder of light. Big like and owl big maybe...
This morning 10.9.09 I got up to be on the road by 4:30 am just in case I could get a view of the space capsule crashing into the moon. It was all foggy so a moot point but got a nice run in.
