Mars is bright tonight.

"Mars is bright tonight." I laughed when I heard a TV weather person say that this evening because it's a line from one of the Harry Potter books. She also said that if one went outside and looked east it could be seen easily since we have a nice clear night tonight following an absolutely gorgeous day. So I went out on my balcony, where I have already spent a lot of time today since it was such a great day, looked east and sure enough there was Mars. Or at least there was a bright star or planet or something up there - no idea if it was really Mars or not and don't much care.  It's just nice to have a clear sky and be able to see the stars.  As I may have mentioned once or twice in this blog before, I'm easily entertained.
