Thanks to our good friends (and neighbors) whom we shall call "Paul & Sarah" to protect their identity we got to get up close and personal with the cosmos while the earth came between the sun and the moon last night. While the sight was grand and of cosmic proportions with "Paul & Sarah's" telescope, our digital camera was lightyears away from capturing the entis of the eclipse. The shots I did get are kinda cute. I still don't believe the earth is round, however, even after seeing its rounded surface imposed on the moon. It's all a Hollywood hoax, using a giant projector to give the impression the earth is round just to oppress the common man and star-struck lovers. Nonetheless check out our two ultra hi-res photos so you can say afterwards that you've been mooned by MaustsOnToast or an eclipse on toast, whichever you prefer. I'm gonna shutup.

I'm just guessing but I think that the squirrel was actually looking for water. [G2:15077] We have been suffering from serious drought in North Carolina; weeks went past without even a drop of rain. So, one day as I sat down at the dinner table and looked out of the window I spotted this squirrel (in my belief) looking for water around the plants. I have never seen him since but after he ran away, I found an old container, filled it with water and set it outside just in case he came back. But thankfully it has been raining for the past two days continuously so hopefully now the animals are no longer thirsty.
You better watch out. You better not pout. Perseus is coming to town. Well, sort of. They, in this case NASA, say there's going to be one great light show the next few nights starting tonight, Sunday, August 12th. We're told to starting watching the eastern sky between 9-10pm to see meteor debris from the Comet Swift-Tuttle, and if you know what the constellation Perseus looks like, you can see him, too. NASA's got more info–it's their job. My job is to exhort you, brethern, to turn off the TV and watch the heavens declare the glory of God (Psalm 19).
