lunar eclipse

This was a neat night as we saw a lunar eclipse. I had never seen one before. The local people went to pray so that the end of the world would not come. (Something about that in their religion.) It was a beautiful sight. We were on the roof and I told the neighbor girl what was happening. She said, "no that's not right. The moon has it's own light. We learned that in school." She stood there and argued with me for a while, and I said, "Oh what was I thinking. I am so stupid." She walked away, rolled her eyes and nodded to and fro in disgust. She was probably thinking, "How could America be the greatest country in the world with people who are that dumb. Maybe only the dumb ones come here."
