Good moon rising.

It only happens a couple of times a year, but tonight was one of those times. At 5 pm when I left the winery and headed south towards home, the sun was setting over the western hills of the Napa Valley to my right, (and the Pacific Ocean beyond), and the full Beaver moon was rising over the eastern hills to my left. It's a little distracting as you drive along, admiring the glowing sunset and the silvery moonrise at the same time, but ultimately, it's awe inspiring.
