Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

...because some of it is pretty and some of it is not.

Morning Report, March 13, 2025

I woke from a dream in which I found myself stuck in heavy snow with strangers: two young men and a young woman—all with tall mohawks. As I write this, my coffee maker is muttering something in coffeespeak. As soon as it falls into silence, I will wrap myself around a fresh cup.

I’ve never had a mohawk, but I have bad hair more often than not. And here’s something interesting: I recently wrote about being unable to find a coping saw when I needed one. While deep cleaning my garage, I discovered that I had three of them hidden in boxes and bins.

I need only one coping saw.

In interplanetary news, the Moon is waxing and will be full tomorrow. Most notably, tonight the Blood Worm Moon will appear in the Western Hemisphere, casting a reddish glow as Earth's shadow engulfs it in a total lunar eclipse. This eerie color transformation happens as sunlight bends through the atmosphere, scattering blue wavelengths and leaving only deep red hues to reach the Moon's surface. Named for the thawing earth and emerging worms of early spring, this celestial event marks both a seasonal shift and a fleeting, otherworldly spectacle.
