Today is the summer solstice...the longest day of the year. Tonight will also be a full moon, which in June is known as a 'strawberry moon' because it's the historic beginning of the strawberry season.

The last time the two events coincided was in 1967. The next occurrence won't happen until 2062, so don't miss it! For many, it will be a once in a lifetime event.
Thanks for posting that HH. I have a stack of Washington Posts to read -- and when I sit down to watch TV, including the news, I go to sleep.

Hello Duke! Thank you and good to see you! It's been a while.  :yes: 

I will be headin' for the hills of home on Thursday. When I'm there with friends and family (some in the graveyard) I forget everything but the moment. Some of us drive around -- last year we drove from Route 52 in Bluewell to the turn towards Ashland, then up and over the mountain, through McComas, Montcalm and on to Princeton.

That's quite a ride Libby. I rode me steel horse to dad's on father's day and came back home later that evening. It was a short stay of 5 hours or so but very enjoyable. I hope you enjoy your trip to the hills as I always do. I will be headin' back soon to do some off road 4-wheelin' with a few friends.

Best regards,
Duke (hillbilly cousin) Jupiter
Watch out for Goofy!

:biggrin:  Enjoy! 

And about short visits to see your dad -- do it as often as you can. Follow those hunches. I once decided to take an unplanned trip, a quick trip to see my mother. She seemed fine, happy to see me, but a week later she died suddenly of a heart attack.

If you're awake and the sky where you are is clear tonight, you may be in for a real treat: the Perseid meteor shower, after about 1 a.m. until the sky begins to lighten. Look to the Northeast. Palehorse?

Makes me think of a postcard a friend gave me -- "West Virginia at night" -- pitch black.  :smile: dream, girl, dream.

Lots of clouds and possible thunderstorms here.  Wish it was clear so I could see it.

Hope I'll be able to stay up for it. I'm usually up that late or later but I know how my luck runs.

Yes, I saw that on the news earlier.  Apparently it happened during the test firing of the rocket in preparation for a launch this weekend.  :spooked:

 :eek: I heard about it on my car radio. Nothing but Trump on any of the local TV stations the last time I looked.

The real shame about that is the loss of the satellite and the delays it will cause FB global Internet initiative.  Although, I'm sure it was insured, the project will certainly face a substantial setback as a replacement satellite will now have to be built.

Anyone who wants to read more about Facebook's global Internet initiative can find information here:

Here's a video (with volume) of the event.  The explosion happens at slightly more than the one minute mark in the video.  Listen to the shock waves from the blast as they reach the camera's location.

Yes, I didn't get the full effect because it kept buffering while I was watching it....but DAMN!  :spooked:

It was buffering for me too.  I'm going to try it later tonight and see if there might be a better quality when there aren't so many people who may be watching.
