The dog and I took our nightly constitutional a little later tonight. It was windy and cold but the sky was clear. There were my old winter friends in tableau: Taurus the Bull charging Orion the Hunter while Gemini Twins Castor and Pollux watched. Whip sat while I pointed out to her Betelgeuse, Rigel, and Aldebaran; the Pleiades sisters and the stream of the Milky Way. Then a truck turned the corner and swept a hand held 1 million candle light spotlight across the field. Shiners! Can't tell you how happy I'll be when deer hunting season is over.
