Hello Out There!
I'm still here, well, at least I'm here at home. My computer at work is still a piece of poo =/ My boss is contemplating getting me a new and improved model....We'll see. Anyway I've missed xanga a whole lot. I've not even been able to check your post at work in over a month, which is strange because I can check facebook with no problems....I did read a fb message from xanga this week....I'm signning up for the free six months - YAY FOR FREE STUFF!!!!
I wanted to post about the lunar eclipes - I'm going to set my alarm and get up for it, as the weather seems to be in a co-operative mood. Here's some information:
TONIGHT FOROCTOBER 7, 2014

Tonight – the night of October 7-8, 2014 – there is a total eclipse of the full moon. This is the Northern Hemisphere’s Hunter’s Moon – the full moon after the Harvest Moon. It’s also a
Blood Moon, and this eclipse is the second in a series of four so-called Blood Moon eclipses. For North America and the Hawaiian Islands, the total lunar eclipse happens in the wee hours
before sunrise on October 8. For New Zealand, Australia and eastern Asia, the total eclipse is seen
after sunset on October 8. A partial lunar eclipse can be seen
before sunrise October 8 from much of South America, or
after sunset October 8 from western Asia. Photo top of post shows a partial phase of the April 14-15, 2014 total lunar eclipse by
Fred Espenak. Follow the links below to learn more about the 2014 Hunter’s Moon and the October 8 total lunar eclipse.

I also subscribe to spotthestation which warns me 12 hours in advance when you can spot the international space station fly bys! I'm not sure if this is for the whole of North America or just my town....but I'm going to watch for the fly by too, it's really cool, I am easily amused though....
