Early this morning I viewed the lunar eclipse. I was able to see it when it was almost total and looked orange. It was memorable, but only was visible a little while because clouds rolled in. It lasted longer than my glimpses of meteors, though. Larry missed out because he waited a little too long and saw the moon only filtered through the clouds. A little luck, and a little sacrifice (of sleep) made the difference in our experiences. We won't have another opportunity for an eclipse like this for 80 years. I'm glad I seized the day (or night!).
Phil arrived this afternoon. I'm not sure how we'll spend the week with him. One chore will be trying to fill his prescription at the least expensive pharmacy. He doesn't have health insurance for this month due to a quirk in the new law about coverage. We can pay Cobra for him if something big happened, but we'd rather not. If times were a little different, we could hop across the border in Mexico and have the prescription filled at a greatly reduced cost. There are lists of reputable pharmacies to go to, so I wouldn't hesitate. However, I am apprehensive about traveling in Mexico right now with the drug wars going on. I listen to the long-time residents advice to not go right now.
