Thank God for friends

A friend showed me the delicate moon tonight, I appreciated that,
she is my favorite.

My friend showed me two planes chasing each other. Turns out it
was the ISS with Crew Dragon getting ready to dock! (I usually get
notified by email when the ISS happens, I guess its broken or something)
I appreciated that, I would have missed it if it were not for them.
--
those days were so unsure
was the nothing going to change things
was the virus going to win
Was there going to be a civil war
or more

Now I know the answer
and looking back I wonder
why
why I was so concerned
why I worried
when it all turned out

I look back from here
the new there
to there
and wish
I would have been more trusting ...
or something

My thoughts ramble around a word said or not said to a friend. I can vision Daniel’s flashing grin.

It was a smile to be sure. The timing of getting a good flyover with
a docking is pretty rare and it was a good clear, bright sighting.

I have renewed my email notification of flyovers, not sure what
happened to my existing account. Its a service by NASA, here is
the link to sign up if your interested.

Do they ask for Lat & Long, or just the pueblo name ?

Rojo, You will see when you sign up, its limited, pick PV.

You don't have to but for me once I get notified I go to Heavens Above to
get the exact track so it is easier to spot. That is where the image below
came from. On Heavens Above create and account to make it about our area
automatically. https://www.heavens-above.com/

Tonight 6:43 pm, to the North of us one hour earlier than last night.
But only one object as Crew Dragon is docked now.
