Rant Minus the Rave

A wolf moon is out tonight, large and full, filling the heavens with its large round face. It only happens once a year, and anyone, even poor people like me who don't own telescopes, can stand outside and tell friends and family members the next day that they saw this event. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be one of those people since I live in Seattle. Those people don't have to miss out because a thick layer of clouds won't be covering their sky. Only in Seattle would we miss amazing events because of rain. This year, even more than any other, has seen one rainy day after another. I'm starting to doubt that I'll ever see stars here. Why bother buying a telescope when the white clouds can be seen and enjoyed by all with complementary rain drops to add to the experience.
