i was really expecting to see a moon larger than i ever have, or at least larger than i could remember. i went out at different times Saturday night to lay my eyes on a spectacular moon. the moon was spectacular, but no more to me than it is usually when it's full..
actually,...... i go out several times each night to look up in the heavens, and see the stars. i've enjoyed doing that most of my life. i can't really name the constellations, but i do enjoy the beauty that they bring during clear skies. i think the winter time months are the best time to see a show. there seems to be so many more at that time.
really,............the super moon was not a dud. it was just another moon to me. maybe somethings wrong with my perception. i could be wrong. can you keep a secret? please,...........don't tell anybody this..............i've been wrong before. now,..........if anyone saw what they consider to been a super moon Saturday night................please leave a comment about your experience. i would really like to hear from my readers.
do you ever simply go out of the house at night just to look in the sky? i mean,.....do you ever go outside with intentions of just looking toward the sky? it can't be quite relaxing, after a day filled with stress. there are always great stars, and planets that you can see with your naked eye unless it's cloudy. i love to do that. i have seen some amazing events in my life. i saw Halley's comet in 1986. it only comes around every 75 years, so it pretty much a once in a lifetime event. i saw something else that i can't remember the name of,.........be bop,.......or something. it was one of those once in a life time events. you would think that i would remember the name of it. it was a comet also.
i cheated!! i google'd every silly name that i could think of, and Hale-Bopp somehow appeared. the reason that i could remember the silly name is because it stayed visible to the naked eye for 18 months. read what Wikipedia has to say about Hale-Bopp.
Comet Hale–Bopp (formally designated C/1995 O1) was arguably the most widely observed comet of the twentieth century, and one of the brightest seen for many decades. It was visible to the naked eye for a record 18 months, twice as long as the previous record holder, the Great Comet of 1811.
Hale–Bopp was discovered on July 23, 1995, at a great distance from the Sun, raising expectations that the comet would brighten considerably by the time it passed close to Earth. Although predicting the brightness of comets with any degree of accuracy is very difficult, Hale–Bopp met or exceeded most predictions when it passed perihelion on April 1, 1997. The comet was dubbed the Great Comet of 1997.
now,.............how could i have forgot that event ? i know what the deal is. i must have some form of dementia. does selective memory have anything to do with dementia? i think my memory is like my hearing. i pick and choose what i hear, and could also do it with my memory.
you know,...........there is something strange about my memory i really have a good one, as far as with the most of my life. for some strange reason, i do believe that i've blocked out the majority of my childhood. there are few event in my childhood that i can recall. every now and then, one will pop up, and that usually triggers another one to surface.
i have become one of those people that my mother warned me about!! now, that one hell of a statement!! unfortunately,...........it's a true statement. i often look at my actions, and say to myself, " self..............your about a strange creature." that's another true statement. here is the real deal with all this madness. i really like myself with all the strangeness that comes with the complete package. i never want to hurt anybody with my strange actions, but it's hard not to offend everybody. i know sometimes what i say is misconstrued from what i meant by it, but that's just one of those strange things about me.
A young missionary on his first trip to Africa is away from camp having devotions in a quiet clearing, as was his custom. This one particular day, while reading his Bible, a lion comes and lays down right beside him; so close that the hot warm smell of his breath is wafting over him.
He is, as you would suppose, exceedingly uneasy. He closes his eyes, praying... but when he opens them he sees another approach from the brush, which proceeds to lie down on the other side of him.
Convinced as he is that this is a test of his faith, he determines to return to his Bible reading. As soon as he does so, the two lions pounce upon and devour him.
Moral of the story: Don't read between the "lions."
............much love
