Moonrise

Let me paint you a picture:

Walking across the Key Bridge from Georgetown to Rosslyn. I'm walking on the side where traffic is headed into Virginia. I'm looking out over the Potomac at aircraft coming down their flight path toward the airport.

I look across the lanes of barely moving traffic. The Washington Monument stands guard over the landscape. The Kennedy Center is there, as is the Watergate. And between them and the Georgetown Waterfront is this bright yellowish orange ball. Big. Wonderfully silent and just hanging there.

I can sort of see where people thought the moon was made of cheese.
