Do some laptops have a mouse

Mine have eraser heads, others have touch pads...Both types can use a regular mouse.....

The Moon's orbit isn't exactly 29 days long.
So it tends to appear to wobble in it's orbit.
This takes something like 91/2 or so years for it to go from one end to the other in it's arc across the sky.
(Meaning, in 9.5 years the arc of the moon's orbit apears to shift higher or lower in it's track.)
Not an exact or completely accurate explanation, but close enough.

So the sun can go down at approximately eleven o'clock on the horizon, and the moon can go down at approximately two? That big a change in a matter of days?

You know I noticed this last year too, I can't remember noticing it in NH. Of course I don't have the open horizon there, like here. I wonder if it has anything to do with spring????

[grannie9]

I think I'm whacky, and it's always been this way. Must be all the hootch.. ;)

[Darksheare]

That's more due to something called "orbital mechanics" and the dynamics of the orbit.
*chuckle*
Probably it could be better and more accurately expalined by some on the astronomers here on FR.

[Darksheare]

Not enough hootch!

[grannie9]

I don't think this little munchkin liked that baby Gator. ;)

[grannie9]

LOL.. you may be right.. If I had enough hootch, I wouldn't be able to see the moon at all..

[westmex]

How come all this stuff wasn't made more exact???? Couldn't it have been arranged so we don't have to fool around with clocks and watches every 4 years??? Seems to me a little more research should have been done before all these celestial bodies were hurled into orbit....I'm a little pi$$ed right now trying to get my cheap old watch back on track.....On the other hand....BWDIK....lol

.....Westy.....

[grannie9]

Grannie's really do have eyes in the back of their heads..

and she was watching the back-seat drivers..

[Darksheare]

LOL!

[null and void]

They've got the jaws taped shut on that itty bitty thing? Wimps!

[Darksheare]

LOL!
We haven't invented a way of modifying Earth or teh Moon's orbit yet.
The only moon orbit we can change is our own backsides.
*chuckle*

[Darksheare]

At least you didn't use a cane to hook ankles and trip people up.
*chuckles*

[grannie9]

LOL.. I guess there were too many itty bitty fingers around it. It was the kiddies petting Gator..

It had very sharp itty bitty teef too..

[null and void]

It had very sharp itty bitty teef too.

And, IIRC, quite a grip...

[Darksheare]

LOL!
She did not like that Gator much.
No normal future for her, lizards aren't her thing.

[grannie9]

I just fell on them in exhaustion..lol

Oh by the way, my new name is Crusher.. so it fits. I crushed them in Phase 10 last night.. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.. don't get the Crusher angry... ;)

Won two games in succession after Crusher was born.. heh heh heh......

[westmex]

I still tend to think it was sloppy engineering, but then that hadn't been invent yet at the time all this occured...(:-).....

......Westy.....

[grannie9]

IIRC? s'plain Lucy..
