Apparently, we all missed one of the coolest nighttime sights ever

If anybody did happen to look up and go "Gee, what is that strange new star in the sky?" very early Wednesday morning (or, maybe, very late Tuesday night), lucky you!

And I was awake at that time, too! Gosh darn it.

Remember the post about cannibalism and children?

Picked up a used copy of this book, cheap, for the other kids I'm watching. They speak Spanish, as I've said, so I figured spending $2 of my own money on it was not out of line. Their mother is trying to read to them on the bus instead of just pulling out snacks every time (their food budget was through the route, and really, I haven't seen that her kids eat nearly as much as she said they did, but I haven't told her that yet), and as we were *at* a bookstore, why not? Got books for the niecelings too, anyway. No books for Connie :(

Anyway, anyway, anyway, at the end of the book they give the text and melody for a lullaby, and it runs pretty much like this: "Go to sleep, because I have shit I gotta get done, so go to sleep pumpkinhead, and if you don't go to sleep the coyote will eat you". Really.

I laughed, I did.
