Odd Google Stuff

The following phrases on Google have apparently led people to me.

"blessed symbols"
"of a tireless mind"
"how do you get close to someone who have no, partial, sight and not surprise them?"
"if you have any questions please contact the sutherland internal helpde"

Just some odd results from statcounter. Please return to your normal life, or something close to it.

Yule

A year ago today I wrote about the winter solstice. Within the next day or two I may write about it again, but in case I don't, or am delayed, here is what I said.

Since I had this debate earlier with a few folks, I will throw this little thing out about today. Many of your calendars list tomorrow as the first day of winter, something that generally coincides with this Solstice. The reason the two don't coincide this year is the percentage of time in question. Tomorrow is listed as the first day of winter because the Solstice occurs today at 7:22 pm EST. Thus the 22nd qualifies as the first full day of winter.

For those of you who want to see something new, that is life, or something close to it.

Christmas Pictures

Here is a little hoiday picture of Emily.



I also have the same picture on a keychain to show everyone. Just another silly moment in a parent's life, or something close to it.

Messing With People

So, I think I am going to get around to posting some of those pictures I have been promising myself to post for a while now shortly. First I have to continue with doing something silly like putting an obnoxious post on my sister's blog while I am fixing her template for her.

Yeah, it's kind of rude, but that's life, or something close to it.

The Cold Moon

Circumstances at home have had me away from the computer for a few days. As such, you will notice that this post is late. You will also notice that I edited the date of the post, not to pretend I got it out here on time but so as to avoid confusion if one glances back at the date that it was posted in regards to the moon.

The Cold moon rose over Rochester, NY at 3:57pm EST on 12/4/06. It became full at 7:25pm EST and set at 8:29am EST 12/5/06. (It rose over Farmington NM at 4:29pm MST 12/4/06, became full at 5:25pm MST and set at 8:10 am MST 12/5/06)

The cold moon needs little explanation. In the northern hemisphere many of you are noting the temperature decrease as we continue to move into December.

The next Sabbatt will be yule on December 21st.
The next new moon will be December 20th around 9:01 am EST.
The next full moon will be January 3rd around 8:58 am EST.

There is your lunar data for this month in this life, or something close to it.
