Full Moon

The moon is really bright! That means no clouds at this early hour on a Monday. Ordinarily that means colder temperatures as well, but it’s 52° outside; quite warm for this time of day. The temp is supposed to go to 75°, another record for February.

And for weather of another sort…

“AFP - A powerful blizzard pounded the US northeast Sunday, leaving thousands of air travelers stranded and dumping a record snowfall on New York.”

This caught my eye, as I once went through the blizzard experience myself. It was back in the late 60’s and I was working in Waterbury, Connecticut…I’m not going to relate one of those “back in my day” stories though.

More news…

“HELSINKI (Reuters) - An anti-immigration Finnish group has published on its Web site the controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad after a similar site in neighboring Sweden was shut down last week.”

Those darn Finn’s! What is it about images that make them so powerful? And it is images (icons) that helped to split the eastern and western Christian churches. Christians can’t take any moral high ground here.

“Reuters - One person has been arrested after the release of a video apparently showing British soldiers savagely beating Iraqi teenagers in 2004, the Ministry of Defense said on Monday.”

Those darn cameras are everywhere, aren’t they? You would think that people would know that…
