The night of the two moons is coming up this Friday night. They claim it is a once in a life time event. I guess it is if you have a really short memory because according to the internet, this is the third time it has happened in the last seven years. Do I smell hoax in the air?Speaking of the moon, we made nine trips to the moon in four years. Six times we landed on the moon and three times we couldn’t find a parking space, so we just drove around it and came home. The last time we went to the moon was 1972. That was 38 years ago. Surely a parking space has opened up by now.
Think of the technology and the incredible precision timing it took to pull off a moon landing. I mean what if they had gotten there and it was a half or quarter-moon. We could have missed it completely.
But we will always have moonlight, moonbeams, moonshine, moon pies, moon river, blue moon, harvest moon, new moon, half-moon, quarter-moons. Don’t forget the man in the moon, by the light of the silvery moon, paper moon, moon dance, moon walk, moon shot, moonstone, moon shadow, moonlight serenade, Moon over Miami, Moonraker, Moonstruck, and quit mooning me out the school bus window.

When was the last time you were hit up at the airport by moonies? They must be in a really long eclipse. If Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon, why does Michael Jackson get credit for the Moon Walk?
Today's good read is The Siege by Stephen White. A small town cop gets caught up in a hostage situation where the hostage taker is playing by no known rules.
Stay tuned for future adventures.
