Giant Sliver-Eye Moon

I just came home a little while ago. It was already dark out. Yaw had called me about 40 minutes before to say goodnight and I was still at work.

Sigh.

Anyway, coming home, I couldn't help noticing the sky since it's so big, and it's right up there in ... well, in the sky. It's been overcast for a while now, and tonight was no different. Yaw asked me today what I thought the reason might be.

I said that the Spring/Summer thing is trying to push its way into our area, but the Fall/Winter thing hasn't quite decided to leave yet. So we have a lot of what I call great weather days but with lots of clouds. Yaw thinks it is still too cold and too cloudy.

Tonight, the clouds were deep purple/blue in the night sky, except for one little spot that kept giving off a faint silvery glow. That spot would occasionally open up a bit and reveal a sliver of moon. It winked down at me like a giant silver eye, barely opening in its sleepy stupor, and closing back in on its dreams without ever realizing I was there.

But I was there, and I wished it sweet dreams as I drove home within the posted speed limits, like a good little night owl.
