Oooh, I 💗 star photography though so far I’m not very successful at it. Curious to trade tips though if you end up going that way.

Thanks so much for freezing your ass off and maybe making your sinus infection worse on our behalf -- I saw some headline about the “beaver blood moon” being the most beautiful moon, snickered a little, forgot to click on it, and also forgot to go look at the moon. I still don’t know why beaver blood moons are prettier than all other moons -- at most I feel like that would be a very niche preference -- but this is indeed a very pretty moon.

Also, I used to use a netti pot too! The waterboarded by Mrs. Potts description is so apt. Don’t tell anyone but I used to use tap water -- what can you do, I’m just a fiend for living on the edge.

Well the amoebas started in Louisiana, I think, not long ago. The Beaver blood Moon was gorgeous. I may need to invest in a better camera rig. I mean the whole astronomy thing. We shall see...

Um..... Wow. You definitely have a cold and are definitely grouchy. I could hear it in your writing. But nevertheless, still entertaining, as usual. And exactly the brother I remember, I'd say about...early to mid twenties? 10 out of 10 would read again. 😝🤪

Aw, I thought I was being funny. And really, without moonlight we'd be blind at night, and the moon gets short shrift in the sacrifice department

Oh you were totally funny! I could just tell there was a slight hair up ye proverbial ass... 😁😂😝 And I too, love la Bella Luna!!! My kids (especially Alex) are fascinated by it. As they should be! Also, if we were on the moon, during a bright, full moon...would it be dark up there, or not? I know ..it's a stupid question. But I figured you would know. 🤷

I had no idea. I looked it up. They landed during a crescent first quarter moon to get the most daylight: https://www.quora.com/In-what-phase-was-the-moon-during-the-Apollo-landings?share=1

No glasses, just woke up, parsed 'ritual nudzh' which is one of those things where the more you're sure you're not it, the more likely it is that you are.

You're not a nudzh.
