Only the crescent moon was a straightened smile, and Venus was bright just below it: that's what I saw early Thursday night (this photo is from 2007; I'll keep looking for one from this week). I kept it in sight for some 45 minutes as I drove south--it always seemed to be right in front of me, in the blackness above the thin ribbons of fog. When I got home just after 11 they were gone, but it was a cold clear night, very black sky, very white stars, and as I gazed up at Orion's belt---a shooting star!
