Hi All,
One thing I forgot, did anyone see a very bright meteor that night at approx 23.11, it has heading due south through Virgo, past Spica, it was atleast as bright as Venus and traveled approx 30-40 degrees of sky..

Time to make this topic unsticky.

Given the weather most of us had, I thouhgt the lyrics of Bad Moon Rising would be apropriate... Looks like we're in for nasty weather.

Bad Moon Rising

Written by: J. Fogerty
Performed by: Creedence Clearwater Revival

I see a bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

CHORUS:
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.


Cheers,
~Al
