We had it here last night. It looked better before it rose but it was
still a bright and beautiful evening. We raked leaves in it's light
until almost 9 pm. I guess this is Indian summer in the Midwest.

Harvest Moon by Neil Young -- one of my favorite songs.

I'll go peek at the moon now.

Lou,

I noticed that! I'll be up early enough tomorrow to see it set. Just as
dramatic!

It's not the Harvest moon. The Harvest moon is in September. October's
moon is the Hunter's moon. November's moon is the Beaver moon.

Thanks. I never knew! I have the Old Farmer's Almanac. I'll pay better
attention next year!

a-ha! I knew there was something off about the Harvest moon. I was positive we
had that last summer.

Hunter's moon, must remember that.

It's something my gramma taught me. She's been gone for almost 20 years and
I still miss her wisdom.

I believe they're out of sync this year. We're looking at the Hunter's
Moon. Ah Ooooooh!
<http://www.farmersalmanac.com/astronomy/fullmoons.html>.
I haven't been able to find any consensus on the name of the moons and
wish I could. But this one is generally agreed to be the Hunter's Moon
even though it's in the wrong month. I like Beaver Moon and also the
Hunger Moon for February, but the Farmer's Almanac disagrees.

They seem to have mixed a couple of naming conventions and replaced the Corn
moon in August with the Sturgeon moon and then moved the rest down one
month. The Corn moon in nearly all naming conventions is August, followed
by Harvest, Hunter, Beaver and Cold.

Of course the Farmer's Almanac is the one that perpetuated the mistake of
the 2nd full moon in a month being called the Blue moon.

And yet blue moons caused this odd event.
I bow out with the observation that this is an extremely rare occasion;
the Hunter's Moon is what people are observing now, and it's in the
wrong month.

I apologize. I don't mean to cause conflict.

Cool. We're back in the concrete jungle so I couldn't see it last
night until it was up. But I could tell it was still almost a full
moon as the wacky neighbor made is monthly scene by getting drunk and
wandering around his backyard talking to the sky. LOL He was back
out there this morning at 9 am with a beer in his hand. Full moons
are freaky.

Lou,

Heh heh heh! 9 am? Good grief, unless he works the night shift and it's
Miller time!?

I went to the park this morning to vote and to try and catch the moonset
but it was obscured by clouds. I did get a clear shot of it higher in
the sky but it was a typical bright sunlit full moon.

All the best,

Andy

He was up all night doing drugs. He doesn't work as he's a "kept"
man. But he does drink Miller. lol I think he finally ran out of
steam or whatever he was doing because it's finally quiet. GURRR

OB food: Usually during the summer when he goes on a binge I've
learned that if I hand a plate of food over the fence he goes into a
food coma and things are quiet until the next full moon. lol It's
going to get cold and we won't see him till spring. Hopefully we'll
be gone by then.

Lou
