If I stand right .... here ....

And hold my camera just .... so .... the moon looks like a lollypop on a stick. How cool is that?

I stumbled on a series of pictures I took of this moonset while looking through my Bosque pictures for some more birds to put up here. I just couldn't resist playing with it. It reminded me of a series of moonset pictures I posted on an earlier version of this website way back in January 2001 , almost exactly ten years ago to the day.

Wow, ten years ago seems like ancient history now - there's been so so much water over the dam since then. I don't think the idea I might someday retire and bop around in an old RV had even occurred to me ten years ago.

There wasn't anything real I could picture; the companies had no hard assets. My stockbroker asked me how I knew the two stock market crashes would happen, and I told him, "When the Monopoly play money starts jerking around the real money you're in trouble."
