Back to Welfare Square

I did another welfare assignment last night. I did my first one a few months ago and I got to help in the dairy plant filling bags of Atmit. That assignment was from 1-5pm or something. This one last night was the night shift, which meant clean up. It was also in the dairy plant. There were 14 people there, which is more than normal. That was great, because it meant what was supposed to take from 6-9pm only lasted until 8pm. I got to man the hose and cleanout / fill mop buckets, spray down things used in production, and get nice and wet. It was less tiring than my last assignment, that's for sure.

On the walk out to my car at 8pm, however, I see the moon screaming at me in the sky. Why is that significant? The night before (!) was a total lunar eclipse (I can't think of that without breaking out into song "Total Eclipse of the Heart"). But I couldn't see the lunar eclipse due to a thick inversion and cloud cover. But no problems last night...the sky was crystal clear. Not fair.

Sorry you missed the eclipse. We had a rare cloudless night here in WA with a great view of it right out the front door.

The sad thing was that we've had so few inversions this year because we've had storms every other day, it seems.

Glad you got to enjoy the eclipse. Did you sing the song, too?
