See a Huge Moon Illusion Wednesday

“As the full moon rises this Wednesday evening, June 18, many people will be tricked into thinking it’s unusually large.

“The moon illusion, as it’s known, is a trick in our minds that makes the moon seem bigger when it’s near the horizon. The effect is most pronounced at full moon. Many people swear it’s real, suggesting that perhaps Earth’s atmosphere magnifies the moon.”

This should be fun. I might drag my POS camera out and try and get a shot of it. I’d rather one of yous with REAL cameras would try, tho!

I’m just plum wore OUT. When does this “energy burst from working out” kick in??

Vitamins. Maybe I need vitamins.

So I am reading the book “Eat, Pray, Love” and I made it to the last third of the book, when she’s in Bali. And I had to laugh when I read the part where the woman’s checking out her knee joint, wiggling it around, and said (to the effect) “You must not be having sex.” how did she know the woman wasn’t having sex? The joint was “dry.” Said, sex LUBRICATES the joints. EVERYBODY needs sex. So! Maybe that’s what’s REALLY wrong with my knee. It needs sex!
