The Furious Spinner

The Boston Red Sox won (POPUP) the World Series last night. This means KERRY IN A LANDSLIDE. It was the first time they won since 1918, and since Kerry lives in Massachusetts....well, come on.

Did you see the lunar eclipse (POPUP) last night? It was absolutely spectacular! It got a deep dark bloody red—interesting because coincidentally it was the Blood Moon. I also noticed that as the shadow fell over the moon, it seemed more three dimensional than it usually does where it was still lit. Later, after about 9:30 p.m., when the shadow was gone, the night was so bright with moonlight. We watched it from the shores of the Columbia River for a few minutes, but mostly we stood on the toxic lawn at the elementary school. At one point, a falling star streaked across the sky just above the moon. I made a personal wish, and I wished for peace on Earth. (You never know what'll work.) I danced, chanted, made wishes, talked to the Invisibles (and Visibles when Mario was with me). All in all, it was a lovely night.

If you haven't looked at the Loo Wit webcam lately, you might want to. The link is on the right hand side of this weblog.) She is steaming up a storm. It was a lovely sight as the sun was setting last night. Modern technology sometimes is astonishing and amusing. I emailed my friend Kevin in Hawaii to look at the webcam to see the sunset. Later he emailed back to say he'd missed it but I might want to look after the moon was up because it had been grand the night before. So I looked, and it was spectacular under the full moon—a bit fuzzy, but still, it was the middle of the night! So my friend emailed me to look at a volcano in my backyard that he was watching from his home in Hawaii. Sometimes it's just amazing.

Then I went to sleep and had bloody horrible nightmares. Good times. I figure it's just the brain clearing things out.

May You Walk in Beauty!
