Last night the moon was full in Scorpio at 8:46PM PDT. It was also the closest the moon will get to Earth again in a while. Up here in the Pacific Northwest it appeared huge.
Once I coughed up the fur ball and shook off the hair growing on my palms, I broke out my trusty Nikon 5100 and fired off a few shots.
With the gobbets of dark clouds drifting by the great silver orb, a snippet of poetry came to mind:
Even a man
Who is pure in heart,
And says his prayers by night;
May become a wolf
When the wolfbane blooms,
And the autumn moon is bright!
Well, it took a server outage to break my string of uninterrupted blog posts. While it seemed longer, Blogger's official time for their unplanned outage was 20+ hours, or, for them, "one day". Considering the times that I use for editing and posting, it may have been 20 or so hours to them, but in my world it was closer to 3 days.
Now, I'm far from naive when it comes to unexplained problems with computers, so I won't rant about what happened. However, since it's obvious that there is a chink in the armor, an Achilles heel, a Beauty that killed the Beast as it were, I hope it got fixed without any security issues (like a toadie running off with the client list). Chalk it up to the the so-called unforseen maintenance issue and move on, right?
But, before I do that, I have a question for anybody who cares to spend the time to comment: If you have used Blogger for longer than the year that I've been on it, has something like this ever happened before? And, if you use another Blog provider, have you experienced anything like this before from them?
I'd appreciate it if you leave a quick note . . . that is, if the computer glitches for the comments are back to normal.
I'll continue with regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.
