Once in a blue moon… that phrase comes from when there are 2 full moons in the same month. This happens every 32 months, so it is unique but not uncommon. The fact this is happening on Halloween though is much rarer. If you want to learn more follow this link to EarthSky website (https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/when-is-the-next-blue-moon)

I took a short walk to an undeveloped area near my house and snapped these pictures. I say pictures, because this is a composite shot of the moon and the landscape. So with the help of Photoshop I was able to recreated the scene. Enjoy!

“I Choose Hope!

Tired of hearing the doom and gloom that’s filling the airwaves? Then turn off the noise, and tune in to hope! If you refuse to participate in the recession and reject the fear that’s being spread nationwide, then there are three things you can do to make a difference.” Townhall for hope or check out this link Dave Ramsey

Dave Ramsey hit a homerun with this event.  I disagree with his anti-credit card stand, because with out them I could not have gotten my master’s degree. (only have $2000 left to pay off on a 3.99% Chase Credit Card) So ignoring credit cards he made some really good points. One thing I did especially enjoy was the use of historical statistics to show that we are not in the worst recession ever.  I wish more media types would report this information.  I believe that fear is the enemy in our economy.  And the news outlets use fear to sell their shows/papers/magazines.  People get off the new media’s bandwagon and think for yourselves.  The soon we start doing that the sooner all those laid off workers will be able to get their jobs back.

Well, I got home too late this evening to go for my walk.  This 2nd job is going to drive me nuts.  I guess I have to decide if I really want/need the extra money.

This is just a blank post to fill space.  More stuff to come.
