A Red Moon

Last Night (May 30, 2010- Monday. 1:30 A.M.)

I was watching a movie with my best friend and my parents in the TV room, called Armageddon. I was already in the mood for some kind of big event, so it was pretty cool when my mum called us outside to look at the moon.

At first, when she told me, 'you'll never see this again in your life,' I thought she was talking about a solar eclipse or something. I've already seen one of those.

This was much cooler than a moon cycle.

There were loads of wild fires in Quebec, Canada last night, because it's been so dry and humid the past week. Because of the raging flames, it caused lots of smoke. Because Maine is quite close to Quebec, all the smoke from Canada blew on the wind down to America. It smelt like smoke all night outside. We had to go in, because we'd started to cough.

That wasn't the cool part, though. The moon was reflecting the fire, and it turned the moon as red as blood. Not even joking. It was quite a sight, and I'll never forget it.

It's about 5 P.M. Now, on Monday, and you can still faintly smell the smoke. There are about 50 wild fires in Canada right now, and I hope it's not awful to think that's pretty impressive.

I feel awful for the loss of woods, but hey, that moon was awesome.

Just felt like sharing the lastest of my adventures.
