What Day Is It Anyway..Oh, Friday?!

In retirement days seem to run
Together, turn toward the sun
And, then away, so nighttime
Sit down & throw down a rhyme
But, I usually know what day it is
Just in case there is a quiz...
Or I want to get out
And about
Like tonight, into town I'll go
For a nice dinner at da O
Golfin' coming up next week
As warmer climes I seek
But, what I do every day
Is take a dog out to play
And, romp in the wood
Wish that everybody could
Would do a lot to calm them down
Sadly, tough if you live in a town
Forget how lucky I am
In this retirement scam
What ever day...on Earth!

Moon & Venus last night!!

Today a mix of cloud & sun
Rain or snow, I've seen none
Temps, well, they are staying low
Air, it is still having a blow
Weak front about to slide thru
Holding chill, another day or two
Then temps will take a leap
As closer to spring we creep

On average, every day
About 30 quakes that sway
Seismometers above mag. 4
Today, there's just a couple more
But, as usual only 4 above mag. 5
Still plenty of reminders Earth's alive
And, yes, still 30+, off Puerto Rico
But, at least, all magnitudes are low

Yesterday, caught a cool sight
Moon & Venus, both in daylight
First the moon in binocs
Then, above, Venus, not a real shock
Took the binocs away
There they were, plain as day
But, real show was after sunset
As more & more earthshine we'd get
Here's a moon close up
Terminator line not abrupt
Must be mountains up there..
This shot makes that clear
Not sure what little star above is..
Think it's in Pisces



Keep Your Beliefs, Yours!
I really don't care what you "believe"
Beliefs are for you alone to conceive
In every brain, alone
Each of us must hone
Our own way, so as not to self-deceive
