I am up well before the sun, looking through the bars of my patio prison cell on Day 20 of September.
The next to last Monday of the month has already arrived.
Time is flying and I don't like the speed of the flight.
The night sky was remarkably clear this morning, with a Crescent Moon and the Gemini Constellation sparkling bright, along with hundreds of other celestial sparklers.
Usually pollution makes viewing the stars at night a bit murky from my location.
The best star viewing I have ever experienced was on Lake Powell, in Utah. The Milky Way was a solid band of white, making obvious how it got its name. I do not remember the last time I've seen the Milky Way.
I suspect there are people living in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex who have never seen the Milky Way.
It is only 63 degrees in the outer world in my location, right now. I had no windows open, no ceiling fan spinning and no A/C running last night. And was totally comfortable.
If the sun ever arrives to do its daily lighting and heating duties, I will be seeing how cold the pool has gotten overnight.
