🌷 Welcome Spring! 🌷

The Vernal Equinox begins at 5:58pm EDT today!


   A FULL MOON ON THE EQUINOX

For the first time in nearly 40 years, the spring equinox will occur on the same day as March’s Full Worm Moon. The last time that these two events landed on the same date was on March 20, 1981, though they did come close again in March 2000, separated by a span of only four hours.
March’s full Moon will also be a supermoon, meaning that it will be slightly larger and brighter than most of the other full moons this year.

    1. Wow! The Medusavirus sounds like something out of Star Trek or at least Andromeda Strain. I don't like the idear of viruses having histones and genes. It sounds like something that will end up in the hands of Noonien Soong and lead to Lars!

  2. We keep hearing that Joe Biden might get into the race, but so far he has not. If you want to get ahead of the announcement, and know something about his views, there is a really easy way to do it. Go to your public library, take his book "Promise Me, Dad" in hand, open to chapter 11 "Run, Joe, Run" and just read it right there in the Library. Won't take long. The book chronicles his son Beau's last year or so, and his own efforts at the time as VP. But chapter 11 just captures his hopes and plans for America. He's not a bad person. I wish he had acted differently when it came to Supreme Court and big oil. That's significant to me. But I'd pick him over many others. Not Bernie, of course. It's a good chapter and a quick read. I was especially surprised, in the book, to learn WHY he didn't run last time. I didn't know he'd had everything in place, staff and all. But the HRC camp pushed hard and he was told it was too late to get into the race. Turns out it wasn't. He would have been a better pick than HRC and might have unified the party enough. It makes me mad to think that HRC and the DNC botched that too.

    It's still Bernie.

    1. It was also that he felt he still got too emotional when his son's name came up (and it came up a lot). He needed more time to grieve. I suppose. But I wouldn't have minded some honest tears.
