Is it a mere coincidence that today is also International Talk Like a Pirate Day? I think not
Some days you just have to roll with the tides!
Last night while washing some dishes, I couldn't miss the sight of the Moon. It was a perfect half, really clear and bright and oversized, positioned between a couple of tall pines for an unobstructed view.
I don't recall seeing the Moon's appearance come together like that before for the sudden awesome visual.
Then today I was looking up info on the timing, the first quarter etc., when I discovered that today is a special Moon-viewing day/night of the year.
Looks like I got the sneak preview.
