#127 - Don't Like Failed Comet Search

​Searching for Neowise!
​

Don and I headed out last night, with our binoculars. We wanted to spot the stunning Neowise comet, before it leaves us for 6,000 years.

We headed across the bridge near our house. It was early, but we had time to wait for dark. We had actually spotted the comet 2 nights before, from our cabin. But the sky was brighter, in our neighborhood.

We watched a little evening duck activity. We observed a few neighbors, strolling on nearby sidewalks.

We sat on a bench and waited. Funny, because we were sitting on the bench that we see from our yard. For months we've watched all the walking folks, stop to sit. We've never used the bench before. Now it gave us the perfect view of the Big Dipper.

A Surprise

We studied the sky for 30 minutes, but never spotted the comet, below the Dipper.

However, I spotted the Space Station, gliding across the sky. (We've seen that many times before!) And we also spotted an envelope, propped up on the bridge post!

Sharing Encouragement

Words on the envelope told me to "Keep this... or put it where someone will find it."

Of course I took it! I love finding notes in bottles or balloons or "Geocache" finds! After we gave up on the comet, I took the letter home and looked up the website mentioned in the note.

Yay! Today I made my own note. Now I need to figure out a good place to leave it! What fun Pandemic Entertainment!
