Jottings by Jerry 1-31-18

January, with its warm and cold days, the deep snow that requires days to move and the long cold nights was as good as it gets. In a few short months we will remember it as the good times. February will be the same but shorter. The super blood blue moon you may have read about and unless you were up before dawn on Wednesday you missed it. It’s been over one hundred and fifty years since the last one. The super part is that it is larger because it’s closer to earth at this point in its orbit. Blood, because of its unusual tinted color. Blue because it’s the second full moon in the month. It will be a long time before this combination will happen again.

Life is like shaving… No matter how many times you do it well, you still have to do it again tomorrow.
