Our relationship lasted just five text messages

On Wednesday, I sent a shotgun text message about the lunar eclipse to a dozen or so contacts in my phone. One of the recipients was intended to be Nolan Raadt, however I inadvertantly sent the message to his old Kansas phone number instead of his new (actually quite old now) Minnesota number. The following is a transcript of the conversation that followed.

Kyle, 8:25 p.m. - Lunar eclipse currently underway. Check it out if you're not afraid.

"Nolan", 8:26 p.m. - Hi, who is this? :-)

Kyle, 8:28 p.m. - No one you know. Your phone number used to be owned by a kindred spirit named Nolan. Now get your hiney outside and check out that eclipse!

"Nolan", 9:22 p.m. - I've been outside a couple times. Amazing! I'm glad you texted me.

Kyle, 9:23 p.m. - Cool. It got coudy here. Bah.

Then our relationship faded into the shadows, just like the moon...
