‘Super Blue Blood Moon’ Coming Jan. 31, 2018

Beginning at 5:30 a.m. EST on Jan. 31, a live feed of the Moon will be offered on NASA TV and NASA.gov/live. You can also follow at @NASAMoon. Weather permitting, the NASA TV broadcast will feature views from the varying vantage points of telescopes at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California; Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles; and the University of Arizona’s Mt. Lemmon SkyCenter Observatory.

“For the (continental) U.S., the viewing will be best in the West,” said Gordon Johnston, program executive and lunar blogger at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Set your alarm early and go out and take a look.”

The Jan. 31 full moon is special for three reasons: it’s the third in a series of “supermoons,” when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit — known as perigee — and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a “blue moon.” The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a “blood moon.”

“Super Blue Blood Moon” sure is a mouthful. No matter how I rearrange the words, it never just rolls off the tongue.

The only logical thing to do in traffic when someone honks at me is to honk back.

They prob want to hang out. Right?

Rumor has it this was one of Al Capone’s houses. It’s for sale and there was an open house today so I thought I’d have a look for secret rooms. Because I’m me, these are the things I took pictures of.

I didn’t find any escape tunnels but there were gobs of people so I couldn’t be thorough. It did have a safe house apartment above the garage though.

Address is 1835 S. Fourth Place, St. Charles, Illinois if you’re interested.

In the mid 2000s I made and hung this sign in our kitchen. Because I’m an asshole.

I never really think (or have thought) about anybody else.

Like if I have four hours of no responsibility I will sit and play video games for four hours. I won’t call anybody, I won’t go see anybody. I’ll just do my own thing.^[1] And it’s not like that hate people or whatever. I honestly just don’t think about them when I’m full of me.

Lauren at the Beardsgaard Barbers trimmed my up beard and shaved my head. I’ve never had a hot towel on my head before but it was glorious. She also got me hooked up with some pirate beard balm. I’ll be extra snazzy now!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars of course.

I think maybe it’s not so much as establishing a new identity as just finding out who we really are, what we really like, what we really don’t like…and then being able to fully explore all of that. Loss can bring extraordinary amounts of freedom.

And maybe I’m just thinking that because the only real or significant loss I’ve felt is from divorce. Twice.

But I can’t say enough for the joy of finding and cherishing new relationships. Filling the voids kept me from going completely bonkers. 😊
