The moon was definitely brighter tonight. Nicholas said it looked more like Abraham Lincoln than the Man in the Moon, and said he could read "In God We Trust" on the rim.

<<I showed my ma-in-law the 133 year moon thru a good telescope at 87x. Cool.>>

I had a big telescope, sold it last year. The moon was cool though. To the naked eye it looks frozen up there but through the scope you can tell it's moving.

We went out in the back yard last night about 11 and it was like stage lighting, icy bluewhite light and the shadows so very pronounced. I wish we'd had a telescope.
It was CW's b'day. We went to Texas Land and Cattle for steaks (his choice). Big bloody ones, with a pepper crust; I thought of you. What a way to go. AMmo gave him the game "Cranium", which looks fascinating.
A Rollicking Ramadan to you!
