Lunar eclipse

Well, I was up early this morning in hopes of catching some cool pics of the lunar eclipse.  Unfortunately, it was so cloudy that I couldn't even see the moon.  The next one won't be until 2014!  And why is you can see a great shot when your driving and can't pull over to take it or you left your camera at home?  I saw this beautiful sunset yesterday and I couldn't pull over to take a great shot because I had a car right behind me and there was really no place to pull over!
