So what? Everything checks EXCEPT the transit STARTED way south of where it normally would be. I could swear I saw it move at about 8:15.
Anyway It is supposed to be at the Apex at about 8:44 PM and it is a bit higher in the sky now! I can't type and watch at the same time. I'm still watching for that sudden rise in the orbit as we approach full mon.
Remember those little concave mirror solar cigarette lighters they used to sell at The Whole Earth Catalogue? You don't remember The Whole Earth Catalogue? Mother Earth News? You don't remember Mother Earth News? How about Rebirth? New Times? LA Free Press? Village Voice? Bob Dylan?

Pay attention now, look south.
OOPS... Before you go... Wanna see a weird picture? This skeleton is said to be located in a museum in Brazil under 24-hour guard. Thanks to Surfing The Apocalypse for the clue.
It's supposed to have come from Egypt with some other artifacts and mummies, very old.
