1. Are you taking a look at that blood-red lunar eclipse, Jerry?

   1. …and that is one cool kitteh!

   2. Actually, no, I thought it was a crescent moon while walking to work, but I now see it was near totality (totality was 5:25 a.m. which was close to that time). It wasn’t blood-red, though, and clouds kept drifting over it.

      1. It’s absolutely gorgeous here in the highlands… Venus rising, too. Now it’s back in partial, setting over the mountains. What a show!

         1. Sure…rub it in…the whole state here has been under a solid cloudbank since Monday through at least tomorrow….

            Had plans to stay up all night to photograph it. Didn’t even pretend to try.

            1. Dagnabbit. Last night, I was lovin’ the sights, but lamenting not having better close-up lenses & equipment/time in general. Bugger.

               Oh well… this was a huge event, geographically (I noticed the track covered the north polar region, extended to a hunk of Antarctica, and extended from Pakistan through the tip of Brazil.

               Oh well… at least there’s some consolation links around the web.Thank you, Space.com.

            2. One of the things I was hoping for was a good series of photographs I could personally use to get the relative sizes of the circles of the Earth and the Moon, and from that measure the geometry of the Sun – Earth – Moon system…ah, well….

2. Those missing ear tips make Gus look like a Scottish Fold.

   1. Yeah, he looks extra cute!

   2. I think he looks like this.

      1. Whatever that critter is??

         1. An ermine, according to the title of the picture.

            1. Kind of woozley, I believe, and women of my grandmother’s era used to have stoles therefrom:-(

            2. While slightly down-market women of the same era had stole cats.

            3. Stole cats or cat stoles, LOL? Black Adder had the cat stole, complete w collars and tags.

            4. Ben has a decorative cat collar – but his is alive (thank goodness).

            5. Be more than a little bit morbid otherwise, no?
