Birding takes my mind off stuff and it adds good life to a tuff life. It also helps me forget about my spine pain and stress.  Laugh, eat, be merry.  Anybody with extra $ may send me some as It will permit me to travel.

Thansk for the moon update, I awoke about 4am today and pulled me blinds up only to be temporarily blinded by the brightness of the moon!!!  Literally, I left the blins up and lay there for a little and stared at it but could not for long.  Wow was it ever bright.

....... as long as I don't drink and stay in all will be fine.

p.s. - could you expand on why we should beware the full moon?  I know a few reasons but wanted to hear yours.  any stories?

Amazing how it lights up the whole city, eh?  :)  It's really cool looking at it through binoculars as well.  So much detail!

Well, apparently "Axeman" goes outdoors and howls!  ;)

Seriously though, could literally go on for hours about weird things that people seem to do and say during Full Moon weeks!   :shock:  I've noticed each month for 3 days before and 3 days after a Full Moon, look out!  At my ex-customer service job, I would always know a Full Moon was coming up when I would start receiving obscene phone calls, marriage proposals from total strangers, etc.  :lol:  Never a dull moment.  

The ultimate Full Moon story that will make you laugh ... late 80's, Queen St. in Toronto.  I was sitting by the window at a Pizza Pizza location, having dinner and watching the world go by.  A drunk man walked up to a tree, started hugging and kissing it.  He then decided to remove his clothing and try "mating" with the tree!  The next second, 2 police officers show up and are chasing the naked man down Queen St.  Somehow they managed to catch him, handcuff him and put the naked guy into the back seat of their cruiser.  

 :twisted:

Hence my name raven and the 11:11 - has to do with these events we see when a full moon / harvest moon occurs.  I totally love the story about the guy trying to mate with a tree.  Classic Queen Street!!!

As for strange events and 11:11 - I started seeing weird coincidences several years back and especially like when I only look to see what time it is and my clock reads:
11:11
3:33
12:34
The list goes on.

Cheers to synchronicity.

p.s. - I recall a old buddy of mine who was a cop always told us the craziest stuff happened during full moons.

Thanks for the laugh.
