Evening

Last night was the new moon so the planets were easily seen. The most delicate sliver of the new moon hangs below Venus in the western sky in the band of turquoise light that is the lat sign of the sun. I learned a long time ago to mark the days beginning at sunset and the turning of the year at the full moon after the autumnal equinox. There is a natural ease and logic to this arrangement, so right now, from my point of view it is Monday. :)

Abuse is defined as:1. Improper treatment or usage.

To wit: Real men don't need to drive over-sized over-accessorized trucks. When I see one of those chromed, color-coordinated, decal-laden, vehicles in such pretty colors I really better see a girl stepping down out of it.
