Holy shit I just saw Mercury!

I have been trying all my life to see it. But because I lived in Denver it was always way too low because of mountains. Here in Seattle mostly because of clouds. Clear night tonight and since I am always keeping my eye on the planetary plane I was like here's a new one must be Mercury! I might be blind as a bat but I keep track of "the wanderers". It moved quick! I could literally see it moving in orbit in real time. Anyway, had to tell someone.

To illustrate. I am sure everyone knows this. But how quick it moved coupled with the rotation of Earth was something I was surprised by. Not really surprised but to see it was hella cool.
