super moon---super eclipse Sunday night

Wolfman · Post by **Wolfman** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 10:35 pm

If you've got kids that have never seen one, or if you're still an astronomy geek at heart, pay attention. Commencing about 10PM EDT.

Now back to our regular scheduled program.

More NASAtan trickery. I'll pass thanks.

But that would require admitting the very round shadow that fell across the moon was...ROUND.

His admitting what was seen by pretty much everybody would be the real revelation.

Pops has admitted to seeing both lunar and solar eclipses early on in that other thread. He isn't smart enough to understand what he saw.

No he's smart enough, he's just too stubborn and pig headed to admit he is wrong. He can rely on is Scripture and bad graphics until he's blue in the gills, but he hasn't proven a damn thing, other than he loves ridicule.

I'm a moon child and will likely go crazy for a day or two.

Some people lose sleep over things I've said.

I'm quite sure of it.

I remember my parents being quite shaken when my grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

From laughing out loud at your idiocy, maybe.

From making anything resembling a credible statement, not at all.

I've been in various parts of SEC Country for 3 + weeks now. I've seen the sun for a total of a few minutes. And I've seen it rain more in one afternoon than it does in a winter month where I live.

Your weather sucks.

I've always been fascinated by astronomical events, this did not disappoint. Quite the bloody good show.

The Earth cock blocked the moon from the sun like John Boenhner blocked 'holic from ever having a decent take... or getting his foundation issues settled.

I won't speak to his wifes' take on this as even here, some issues are off limits.

Bit of a rip-off. Nothing but black clouds, but one with the moon behind it that flickered like a neon sign. Something went on. So much for the universe, watched the Lions instead :?

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 4:16 am

Absolutely crystal clear evening here. We've been sitting on the porch with binoculars for the past two hours. Amazing sight. Very little ambient light here, and when the eclipse was in totality we could see not only the red moon but the milky way up above.

Yeah, trolling about losing your wife to a disease that has claimed the lives of a grand total of 3 Americans is weak shit.

I'm not a .net guy, and don't know the timing or location of said event, but since there's a slightly less than a one-in-one hundred million chance it's true, calling bullshit seems wise. There's been no reported cases in the last year.

As far as the eclipse -- the clouds let up a bit, and I watched it through the haze of the 98% humidity.

Wolfman · Post by **Wolfman** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:48 am

I went out front around 10:30 and nothing but dark clouds. Maybe next time.

mvscal · Post by **mvscal** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 1:27 pm

Had a great view here. Lots of people in the neighborhood were outside checking it out.

Moving Sale · Post by **Moving Sale** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 2:16 pm

Drove south from SLO to LA last night during eclipse and got to watch the whole thing.
It was awesome.

Saw it here no problem.

Had to get up at 4:30AM though.

BarFlie · Post by **BarFlie** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:18 pm

Nothing but clouds and rain for six straight days. There's so many huge trees on my property I rarely see the moon anyway unless it is directly overhead. Same goes for sunshine, plenty of shade here.

Too damn much city light here but even so, when it went almost total eclipse, you could see things in the night sky you'd never see otherwise. I was surprised how long it lasted (save your cock blocked jokes, holic, I'm not reading them), at least 1-1/2 hours. I thought it would be over in a 1/2 hour at most.

The night before last the moon was so bright it lit up my backyard like Arrowhead on MNF. Amazingly bright and seemingly so close you could reach out and touch it.

When I see stuff like that, it makes me realize what small and insignificant creatures human beings are compared to the majesty that I prefer to call Gods' creation.

Must be radically different from the Carolinas I'm currently in.

Plenty of medium-sized trees, though.

Spray, I get not seeing the sun for extended periods. It's called "winter," and the U&L winter sucks, bigtime. And on the flipside, I rarely see clouds or rain in the summer.

But at least it hasn't been ridiculously hot (OK, a day here, a day there). But everyone I know thinks I'm a "freak," since heat never really bothers me -- cold fucking bothers me.

Although when the sun did come out in Tampa, it got quite fucking warm.

And what's up with Augusta? They have complete hovels next door to mansions... freaking ponderous.

I was off Wheeler Rd. and I-525(I think that was the freeway).

Wasn't too horribly ghetto, but I didn't have to go far to be in horribly ghetto.

Whereas here in Charleston, I'm in a niiiiiiice part of town.

Here's a shot of my place just after moving to SW. NC. in early july. That's my Cobalt siting in a rare patch of sun.

Depends on what you mean by huge trees.

Huge trees in NC:

Huge tree in Pacific Northwest:

Mikey · Post by **Mikey** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 11:36 pm

I don't live in the Pacific Northwest, either. That's Dins' neck of the woods.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Tue Sep 29, 2015 12:32 am

If you have a tree like that on your "property" you're probably living in it.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Tue Sep 29, 2015 1:34 am

I don't have a tree quite that big in my yard. Got some pretty large fuckers, though.

As to Chucktown(I've heard that used here already) -- I'm on Daniel Island. Really posh. I couldn't afford to live here. And the people who work here can't afford to live here. Racked up a pretty deece bar bill watching football over the weekend.

Those aren't trees. In a KC backyard, those are saplings. My trees that have junk in their trunks scoff at those wannabes.

But they do look like they might provide a decent amount of shade, tall and skinny as they are, which is nice.

I was moving into my new home all weekend without meeting anyone other than my next door neighbor. The blood moon served as a mini block party. Got to meet most the folks on my street then, albeit in the dark.

Pretty decent folks on my new street, except I don't know what they look like.

I'm sure they're all increadibly good looking and responsible people. There won't be a single rifle brandished over a garden hose incident.

Here's hoping they are nice wonderful neighbors who have more going on in their life than their kids.

Have you evaluated who is looking for a handout and who isn't?

The tree big dick contest here will never get old. Wait, yes it will, or should I say has.

Can we just settle it. The left coast has freakishly tall and big trees. Unless you live in SoCal which has whatever your gardener planted and you can keep alive via watering. The flyovers and right coasters have an assload of trees. Some get decent sized. I do think we have variety bode, however.

He will know soon enough. Just over a month.

Why?

I have dead limbs in some of my trees that are of a larger diameter than Barfs skinny saplings he's so proud of.

Besides, I thought the "junk in their trunks" line was pretty good... couldn't resist.

Actually we have some pretty decent size quercus agrifolia and platanus racemosa around here.

I don't have any live oaks quite that big but they sprout in my yard like weeds.

There are some pretty big pepper trees too, but they're imports.

Probably not, since I'll will likely be out with my kids collecting their Jolly Rancher welfare.
