Nerd Alert

Bring your camera...

I've mentioned this a couple of times before, but I thought that I would bring it up again--hoping that the weather holds out so we can all see it.

Last winter I was wandering around on the waterfront waiting for something, I don't recall what, to happen down at the old Casino Theater, when right there in the evening twilight I saw a brilliant slice of the Moon setting right behind the sun.

The scene was amazing, butI had left my camera at home so I missed the photo opportunity.

Since that time I have found this web site that provides sunrise and sunset data for any location and any day of the year.

After several false starts, I think that the next two days here on the Georgia coast will provide a similar photo opportunity, or an opportunity to just sit on a bench and watch a nice sunset and moonset coincide.

The best time will be New Years eve when the moon sets a little over a half hour after the sun.

Meet me on Kings Way about 5:15 PM, if you will.

I'll bring the Brie and Wine...
