Woo hooo --

It's really hard for me to get away from haze & glare, and I couldn't see much of anything that night. I got out of town a ways last night, but there are so many trees in the region (I'm spoiled by the great plains of Nebraska) that the view was pretty limited, and I couldn't see anything that was forecasted. I'm going to try again tonight.

While I'm on a roll --

Here's a Colorado viewer's photo of what I think I saw a bit of that night:

It does look a bit familiar, with those pillars in the middle.

The fog's been so thick here lately that you're lucky if you can find your nose at night.
