I left the woodshop just before 8:30 tonight... we had one cabinetmaker stay late to make some custom oak door jambs. The reason he needed to be there after hours is to make some special cuts in the wood without changing the setting on two of the table saws. During the day, it's too hectic (and costly) for 1 person to tie-up both saws for 3+ hours. Since I'm a work 'madman' I kept the shop open for him to complete this work. Also, safety regulations... I don't want anyone in the shop working the saws alone.
As I locked the rolling gate, I could see the glow of the moon between the neighboring trees. At the time, it was only 10 degrees above the horizon. By the time I go to the highway it was clearly more that 30 degrees and the cloud cover tonight was slight.
Officially, the full moon was last night... perhaps that explains why there were so many 'cry-baby' (or I'm menstruating) blogs yesterday... Cheer up, it's just a passing thing !
Anyway, It's kind of strange how some things flow in unison. Earlier today, I blogged about singer Peter Allen who was married to Liza Minnelli at the time she starred in the movie Arthur (with Dudley Moore) In the movie she told Arthur she would walk at night and the moon followed her. Great movie. I'd like to see it again.
The weather here was really warm today and dropped 20+ degrees tonight. When I'm tired and cold, I often get deja vu about time when I was much younger. No, I didn't serve in Vietnam and no.. I didn't take acid either.
But I do recall my band playing at a local dance hall and after the gig, we converged at the singers house to watch the 1969 NASA moon landing.
Whenever I think of men landing on the moon, I have to think of the movie Capricorn One. If you don't recall... it was about 4 Astronauts who were pulled seconds before their rocket takes off. It seems the lowest bidder of the life support failed to make a functioning system. NASA realized it too late and decided not to scrub the mission, but to take the Astronauts to area 51 and 'fake' the mission. Since they all knew it was top secret, they figured their lives would be in danger on their return to earth when an 'accident' would happen in re-entry.
Some say we never made it to the moon... either time. Why haven't we gone back again? I know I cannot solve these mysteries... just like the Twin Towers... there is always going to be suspicions that it was known by members of our government this would happen. But, that's not the focus of my blog tonight.
I just want to know if the moon is really made out of cheese. My doctor told me to avoid cheese...it's too high in cholesterol.
