anyone who is blessed with a clear sky tonite needs to make an appointment with themselves to walk outside and admire Mother Nature, God and/or Life in the wise and beautiful face and light of this Harvest Moon this night.

those tides are compelling indeed!

angie, in Alaska we have the combination of harvest moon and arctic moon right now. Arctic Moon doesn’t happen very often – even up here. The moon isn’t setting for a few more days.

“the begrudging respect is sneaking through.”

I’m looking forward to the 2nd Wednesday in November. What CT Bob did is part of the next step. Our videos are creeping over the wall and onto the MSM

Except, we’re not selling anything; we just want to get to the truth.

The metaphor/image has often been made here before, but I can’t help but keep asking “Why have our institutions so readily embraced a political juggernaut which so thoroughly hates the truth. They don’t just mistrust the truth, avoid the truth -even when it might help them, distort small grains of truth to support enormous lies, ad infinitum. It is more readily obvious every day – the Republican machine HATES the truth.”

Every day gives them more reasons to feel that way, I suppose.
