A new moon always brings some hope.

yes it does altie.
and, i can see it - its a beautiful crescent
moon.

"This is a little song called Everlasting Moon about what some people did to preserve the environment."

The sky revealed the rumor
In a misty gray cocoon
Some angry baby-boomers
Stole the everlasting moon

They found a new location
Clear and poison free
In a distant constellation
Oh, they called it lunacy

Chorus:
Hangin' in the sky
The perfect alibi
Baby come outside with me
There's a moon you've got to see
Smiling every place
With his laser-painted face
Light of love in each moonbeam
Want you step into my dream
Everlasting moon (everlasting moon, everlasting moon)

Back when nature ruled the heavens
Oh gypsies, fools, and loons
Were dragged across the ocean
By that everlasting moon

When it goes from full to crescent
I move in and out of tune
It's the envy of the Kremlin
It's our everlasting moon

Chorus:
Shinin' in the sky
The perfect alibi
Baby come outside with me
There's this moon you've got to see
Smiling every place
With his laser-painted face
Light of love in each moonbeam
Want you step into my dream
Everlasting moon (everlasting moon)
Everlasting moon (everlasting moon)

I stepped out on the snow covered deck and saw a beautiful crescent moon in the western sky.

Ha. I just came in from walking the dog and figured I'd
mention it. You beat me to it.

It looked like I could hang my coat on it.

I just finished looking at this site:
mystarslive.com

You can enter your where-abouts and time and get a half way
decent map of the sky. I prefer aiming it at the eastern
horizon because that is the direction I usually look out at
while walking the dog.

I wanted to see which planet was shining so brightly. It's
Jupiter. Saturn is out there too but didn't notice it.

Here's a question for you star gazers. Do the Big Dipper
and Little Dipper have a different name? One that is more
scientific sounding? Or are they part of another
constellation? I can't seem to find it on the maps
that I've checked.

Altair19-

you took the werds outta clappy's mouth...

zita took them outta mine...

so i'll have to take some outta some buddy elf's mouth.

my "thought for today" on monday was:

"Mostly we were able to ignore the hairy thing
in the corner. It seemed to be leaking some green
fluid, but we could walk around that. It gave off
an unpleasant odor, a cross between Limburger cheese
and a decomposing skunk, but we never mentioned it.
We didn't seem to have a plan for getting rid of it.
It wasn't really hurting anybody. And then one day
I thought I heard it singing. And another day it
seemed to say I love you."

here's my writer friend jack's reply today...

Later he took a bath and got a trim, found some clothes someone had
thrown away, brushed his teeth and came into town. A woman thought she
had seen him before and asked him into Carly's for a beer, they got
acquainted and liked one another. She took him home and they made love
all that night and well into the next. He had a lot of hunger and she
was ready to fill his plate over and over. After a few weeks she asked
him to take a bath or leave and he left. He didn't like being pushed
around on issues of personal hygiene, he was pure in soul, and that is
what counted to him. He went back to his lair and moldered there for
awhile, thought things over, really missed her, made up lovely little
songs he promised he would sing to her next time.
