    Yeah, it’s a beautiful sky out there. But we bundle up in 7 layers of clothing before we head out! :-)

  • 2 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 20, 2008 at 9:39 pm

    I’m a wimp. I’m watching from the kitchen window.

    I was caught up in Season 3 of Lost and think I missed the best part of the eclipse. Anyone here a Lost nut?

  • 4 Greg Kowalski // Feb 20, 2008 at 10:32 pm

    Can’t say I am.

    But UFO Hunters was on History Channel!

    Hmmm. So whats out there Greg?

  • 6 Greg Kowalski // Feb 21, 2008 at 12:34 am

    You’d be surprised, Dan!

  • 7 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 21, 2008 at 6:16 am

    Dan, it looks like it’s you and Janet Evans that are Lost fans. I’ve never seen it. (But then I’ve never watched American Idol, either.)

    Just out of curiosity…why does anyone care if a shadow passed over the moon? Does people gather around to watch a flashlight being turned off? I don’t get it. Have I lived a sheltered life?

  • 9 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 22, 2008 at 8:36 am

    Come on, El gato! You of all people? Lunar eclipses are Biblical for goodness sake. They’re relatively more rare than watching a flashlight user. For me seeing one makes some kind of ancient connection.

  • 10 El gato // Feb 22, 2008 at 8:44 am

    No…lunar eclipses are just a ordinary occurrence albeit rare. There is nothing mystical about it at all.
    Heck, you can just go out any night and put on your sunglasses and see the same thing. Or how about a solar eclipse? Put your hand between the sun and your eyes. Bingo!

    BTW. Some really good talent on Idol this year.
    There is an Asian girl that I think will go all the way. She is tiny, cute, and has a wonderful voice.
    It’s worth watching this season….and better than seeing the moon in a shadow for me!

    But El gato, the lunar eclipse prove our world is spherical, not flat. I like watching them for that small reassurance!

  • 12 El gato // Feb 22, 2008 at 9:22 am

    What do you mean “not flat”. What are you…some kind of liberal nut?

  • 13 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 22, 2008 at 9:55 am

    Oh, please, El gato you were being funny here, right?

  • 14 Dan Harland // Feb 22, 2008 at 10:12 am

    Cindy, if you are into the whole moon/spritual thing, have you ever been to see some of the ancient Mayan ruins? I would love to have seen that eclipse from the the cliffs at Tulum - would have been awfully spooky!

  • 15 El gato // Feb 22, 2008 at 10:12 am

    Of course! I found out the world is a sphere a couple of years ago and I haven’t looked back since. I must admit that it was somewhat of a surprise to me since hundreds of millions of others believed it and thought Columbus was nuts. I mean after all if you can’t trust the opinions of the general public and the scientists…who can you trust?

  • 16 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 22, 2008 at 10:44 am

    Hmm. May have to put that on the list for 2010, Dan. I’m not “into moon/spritual” so much - but I think it’s fun to watch.

  • 17 Dan Harland // Feb 22, 2008 at 12:09 pm

    You said before it gave you an ancient connection thing… I guess I worded poorly. I didn’t mean like moon gods and that type of thing. Nevertheless, Tulum is a pretty cool ruin site south of Cancun.

  • 18 Shawn Matson // Feb 22, 2008 at 1:42 pm

    So you’ll rip on the lunar eclipse and rave about American Idol, El gato?

    That seems unlike you.

  • 19 Dan Harland // Feb 22, 2008 at 1:51 pm

    Yeah I think El gato has been highjacked

  • 20 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 22, 2008 at 2:08 pm

    You two whippersnappers should know that I really like El gato’s silly side. He’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.

  • 21 El gato // Feb 22, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    Shawn and I need to have a face-to-face so he can see the side of me that he brings out. He likes to dig at the big boys and that may not be wise.

    Cindy, you on the other hand are much too kind!

  • 22 Shawn Matson // Feb 22, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    I offered up a face to face last year and you weren’t up for it.

    Maybe we can have a fireside chat?

  • 23 Cindy Kilkenny // Feb 22, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    (Maybe it’s just the full moon. tee hee)
