Hawaii's Night Sky 1973

I was driving to my grannies country home after the end of a dinner invite with friends in town, about 40 miles away. There was news of the oddity prior to my first visual contact, that entertained my youthful glassless eyes for the near full length of this drive and that thing be an unobstructed view. I'm talking about Comet Kohoutek, of 1973. Admittedly, the spectacle looked like a toy when the tail drops a bit then ups a bit. The comet appeared blunted, like some dream, or like a string on a kite but cut severely short. On the opposite end, being my left-side drivers window, directly is the moon over the ocean, and the comet more left of my driver's window, heading towards town that I had just left. The moon fronts my drivers window, the comet in my rear window, wondered with that comet out there--where is everybody? Ah, that's the answer, it's driving out to the country, with the length of a beach one side, the moon in front, comet rear, and that is why nobody's here. ... and not because it's two in the morning.
