aaaa-OOOOOOO !!!!
Hope y'all enjoyed the moon rise tonight. A 'Stwawberry Moon" last seen in early 1960's ('62? maybe '67) and won't be seen again for another 60+
years.... on the solstice that is. Solstice today (MDT) was at 6:42 MDT, so I hope a few of you closet wiccans got yer wish tonight.
Personally, I got mine; as the moon was just barely full my neighbor's dogs were on their usual sunset bark for food..... I just helped out their
plaintiff cry a little. Four or five good howls from the depths got 'em really going, even though mine weren't as deep or lengthy as they used to be.
HAPPY SOLSTICE, AND STRAWBERRY MOON!
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

It is a bit cloudy to the east here in Anchorage, and beside that, the sun won't even set for another four hours or so!
About nineteen and a half hours are sunlight this time of year, and the rest are twilight conditions.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Solly Charrie...... t'was beautiful here in Baja NM.... the 'strawberry' lasted an hour, now it's just .... another.... full moon...
But both on the solstice, once every 60+ years. Kewl beans to my eyes. Even got out my horn-rimmed testicles to watch it.
Again, happy Solstice for the folks who appreciate it. AK, you have your own multi-spectacular visits in your land up in the Great White North, even
if it is Los Ankorage. Keep smilin', buddy.

For those who love to howl, it should show up 'strawberry' for the next few nights at moonrise.... just have to wait an extra 40+ minutes each night.
The red fades after about a half hour or so, but man, is it peachy..... I mean, strawberry... 
And Fernweh, what are those objects in the distance to the left of Mr. Cheesehead? Are they aircraft? I count at least 7, looks to be on a
glide-path for landing.....

Those are UFOs. They cannot be seen with the naked eye during a Strawberry moon, but they can be caught on camera.
