A somewhat pensive thought;
I was just outside in Phoenix, Az. for a moment and noticed the crescent Moon
setting. It was a dull red color from the smoke generated by the fires in
southern California. I got to thinking how I would feel if I had 15 minutes to
gather up all I could of my loved ones and my life's belongings and get out of
the path of an all consuming conflagration.
Sometimes the mundane does intrude into a vision of the Universe.
A sobering thought, and I don't even drink much, anymore;
