Slow Nights in Rosamond

Friday Night I was set up early as
the moon was already up and before
dark. Most times with a nearly
full moon I have more people stoping
but not so this weekend. This night
I had just two people stop by to
have a look at the moon. I had to
close up by 8pm as I needed to get
home and take some cold meds.

Saturday night I had taken the cold
pills before leaving so I was ready
and all I had was one guy stop to
have a look at the moon. Spent most
of the time reading the magazines I'd
picked up. Went home by just after
9pm.

Sunday I set up by 5:45pm and the
moon was still behind the trees on
the north side of Rosamond Blvd, just
as it cleared the trees I had two
young females come over to have a
look at the full moon, as they where
looking I saw something come from
the north west that looked like a plane
but as it passed on, I could tell
it was not a plane, but I didn't get
to look at it until it was gone to the
east. So don't know what it was.

Had 3 men come over about 7:30pm
to have a look at the moon and they
spent some time asking about the rays
that came from the major impack sites.
They where the last ones to have a look
too, I went home just after 9pm as
there was no cars going by, and the
town was all but dead.
