Alas, after walking around in the front yard and back yard yesterday morning, I was unable to see the super blue blood moon that I was supposed to be able to see between 6:15 and 6:30. It's always disappointing to miss such a rare occurrence. I suppose that's life, though; for the most part, it's just a series of missed opportunities that leave us feeling glum.
Wait. Let me switch beverages.
There. That's better. I'd been drinking Compromised Dreams Cola. I had to settle for it when the grocery store ran out of Bereft Of Hope Cola, which features a bitter black coffee base, suitable for melancholy times. Now, however, I just opened a can of Balanced Perspective Cola, and my thoughts have brightened. I still got to see footage of the super blue blood moon online, and I still feel fortunate to have seen the solar eclipse last August, with its temporary burst of nightfall.
It's amazing what a difference the right beverage makes.
I was inspired to write this after reading a rather melodramatic review of the four new Diet Coke flavors. To my taste buds, they're all quite good and don't taste overtly like diet soda.
