... and we were going to stay up for it, but it's only 10:30 p.m. and we're already getting tired... and there is a thick cloud cover that looks like
a sheet of cotton... and, why do total eclipses always have to happen in the middle of the night, like between 3 and 5 a.m.?

David K answered that question---sorta---"things worth seeing are worth the effort required", or something like that -------
I will be satisfied with the incredible FULL MOON out there right now!!! No clouds up here in the northland---what a beautiful moon.

It was a little foggy here in Todos Santos but you could see it. Neat!
Then again, how long can you stand in your bare feet and underwear out in your yard at 5 am being bitten by mosquitoes and staring at a dim bulb in
the sky? I went back to bed after about 2 minutes, but glad I saw it anyway...
