before you know it  there were people meeting in the parking lot with questions. That is when I thought I better find a quiet place to watch the effect.

I stopped on the side of the road for a clear view.  Pointing the camera into the night sky and waving to the moon to let her know I was watching. People began to stop to see what I was doing. I explained we were having a Lunar Eclipse and I wanted to get the best shot. How I had wandered the town to and fro to get a place where I felt the Lunar Eclipse would be brightest. Before I knew it there were hundreds of people staring at the moon. Now how do You suppose that happened.

There we were staring at a beautiful light in the sky only to watch it get dark for a few minutes and blissfully shine back out. It was most amazing, so as I clicked the shutter on the camera to reflect the awesome eclipse. I swung my camera around to snap the essence of awe on every face standing along that roadside. When the moon surfaced again we were blue lighted and I heard a whaling siren sound and there I was, a whacko woman with a camera pointed into the night sky and 250 shining hienie moonies winking back at the moon and the nice police man grinning from ear to ear. Talk about a one hour photo.

Now you may wonder what this has to do with Dirt Dobbin and Road Robbin, well I am not talking about the red breasted Robin either. In fact the whole act of the following adventure could be represented by a Rocky Mountain Canary (look that one up in the Thesaurus under alternate words non donkey type  creature.) You see it has come to

my attention that the city of Cleveland is now allowing simple dirt removal via the night sky up and down Westover Drive. I think the local cemetery  occupants are playing a Halloween joke on the road people. I am sure if

you were to pretend to be Dorothy and Toto you could find the Red Dirt Road circling the area neighborhoods inviting alien beings to grab a bit here and there.

You know that gaping hole in the road that someone forgot to finish fixing (cause they got called away to tear up another road to inconvenience the local Dirt Dobbers). Yeah, that's the area I am talking about. The Village shopping center has become a very convenient drive through.

Has anyone found that camera that use to be posted at the red light at Ocoee and Keith St. It seems to have  disappeared. I miss waving at the owner of that camera. That's the only time I could really make faces when I was driving. While we're at it, if for any reason you find it difficult to drive on S. Ocoee  St. where the Drivers License Testing Center is located (near my business in the purple building) then just remember they can't block off all the side roads to add to the detours they so justly forgot they have. We already have one way traffic going the wrong way, how much more confusing can they try to get. While we're taking short cuts you can skirt around the block to get your license and come to my shoppe and get tires next door at Parkway. Then proceed down to Jon G's BBQ for a quick snack before camera hunting season begins. With that I must sum up this well seasoned article.

Lets just say that when the moon shines we don't take upon ourselves to drink the shine from the bottle because everyone knows we're  not dancing naked under the moonlight, it was our moonlight that was shining. If you want to grab and own  your piece of earth with no taxes and no restrictions, come on down to 3rd Street and Westover Drive and we will have our quiet cemetery clientele load ya right  up. Just don't get lost in all the signage for detouring, we'd hate for you to get swallowed up in that hole in the road. Come in disguise Judy, no one will remember the song.

By the way everyone, no smile was hurt in writing this article. Do not try these things at home. Happy Halloween, and on to Turkey Day... see you next month.
