I worked a late shift yesterday and left the store in darkness. Except that the sky was alight with an almost full moon. Did you see that moon! If so, keep watching, and if not, start watching. The Globe will become full, and in just a few more evenings, rise as a Super Blue Moon. Unfortunately, it’s destined to be Earth’s last Blue Moon until another 14 years pass.
Early this morning the almost full moon was a single visible object in the smoke-filled and overwhelmingly hazy air. To the west of us and nearby, there’s a wildfire blazing. For miles around, its heavy smoke has created unhealthy air.
Right now, we need this Super Blue Moon! Despite what’s happening with the Earth’s increasingly concerning social environment, our dependable little planet routinely and dependably does its stuff. Since time immemorial, that steadfastly behaving moon has offered its watchers inspiration and optimism.
Dear Friends: Enormous issues right now: climate, weapons control, and diversity. Diana
