Moons and moonings grab our attention
Teachers and emergency room nurses swear by it. Dogs howl at it, and our outside cat, Pepper, goes into prowl mode when it comes around.
Full moons. Sunday night a supermoon lunar eclipse will take place, also called a blood moon. Supermoons appear 14% larger and 33% brighter than normal full moons according to Dr. David Wolf, former NASA astronaut. Bottom line, it’s a noticeable lunar event.
I recall numerous moonings during my high school and college years that were also noticeable events. Such as the time my baseball teammate mooned the underclassmen who had to ride the bus to the game, not realizing that he was also mooning the coach, who was driving the bus! This is only one in a bag full of such stories.
Special moons and moonings always seem to be tied to craziness. So this weekend, you might step outside late Sunday evening between 8:07 p.m. and 11:27 p.m. central time for a unique sight.
And if the dogs howl and the cats prowl and the teachers and nurses go on full alert, you’ll know why such crazy behavior is afoot. So, enjoy!
Worth Repeating
We ran as if to meet the moon.
