The evening of September 27, we saw the last of the total lunar eclipse tetrads in a two year period. Total lunar eclipse tetrads happen four times in a two year period, six months apart. This one was exceptionally special because three separate lunar events happened. The total eclipse coincided with two other things: A full moon […]
Labor Day 2015
Hadn’t been to the beach all summer. I mentioned that to Margie, and we decided it would be great to go to York Beach in Maine for Labor Day. It was a beautiful beach day… 90+ degrees, clear, not a cloud in the sky. The only thing that could have made it perfect was if […]
