Quick Random Note

[alexandraerin]

Tomorrow night is the night when the full moon and the lunar perigee overlap, a phenomenon dubbed "supermoon" by reporters who only know two ways to deal with things, one of which is to stick "super-" on the front of them*. We're projected to have thunderstorms here in Omaha, but if you've got clear weather tomorrow night go on out and take a look.

But look quickly, as the combination of the moon being slightly closer to the earth and fully illuminated on one side by the sun will doubtlessly destroy the earth or something, the way it did every other time this has happened.

*(The other is to stick "-gate" on the end. Moongate would probably be more awesome... we could go fight the Guardian with the companions of the Avatar**!)

**(Yes, I'm so old that my primary association for "Avatar" isn't Dances With Smurfs or the kid with the arrow on his head, it's a legendary warrior of virtue who steals things from people's houses and plots out Rube Goldbergish murder plots against the king, often involving cannons.***)

***(If there are other ways to play an Ultima game, I don't want to hear about them.)
