you live in Cleveland where the sun never shines (or so it seems)

It seems whenever there is an event in the heavens, we miss it because of the perpetual cloudy skies. However, the weather forecast for the 23 and 24 is clear. So just maybe!

About the "WTF!" moments the ancients must have had in reactions to these things. It would be fascinating to listen to the speculations in the village chatter. Then again, there is still a disturbing amount of that kind of thing every time there's an earthquake or hurricane...

I guess it would be interesting ... unless you were one of the village's virgins; then, it would likely be time to hide until the Gods were no longer angry.
