A little haze here in Eugene, but very visible. Just came back from saying "Goodbye, Moon" with my wife.

Very cool.

We drove over to the edge of the mts to look at it, with binocs. There were clouds lazily moving over the moon, with a big piece of open sky approaching. After an hour, there were STILL clouds lazily moving over the moon, with a big piece of open sky approaching. Finally I realized that we were just at the point where the air rising to go over the mts was dumping its moisture into clouds as it rose, and that big open spot was never going to get over by the moon. So we drove back home and then there was big open sky, away from the mts. So I got to watch clouds form, too. A little more interesting than watching grass grow.
