Anyone see it?

I missed the dammed thing, and sorry I did. We go to bed at 10:00, which means I had the dogs out at 9:55. Apparently this happened a few minutes later.

We had the windows open but with the curtains drawn, with the lamp on because I was reading. But I do remember wondering why so much light was coming through the window, but I didn't think much of it, chalked it up to the yard light, and kept on reading. I really wish I would have seen it. Maybe we should change our bedtime from 10:00 to 10:05.

Not to worry. There is another one scheduled for next Tuesday at 9:34 p.m. Central DST.
