Tonight, while Mr. Boomer and I were out on a romantic drive to -- where else?? -- Home Depot, I saw that moon and it just knocked me out. Wow!

Oh good! I never know if I'm boring everybody with the space news.
There's also the Geminid Meteor Shower this weekend, but the bright moon will interfere with the display. Normally, as many as 100 meteors per hour shoot out of the constellation Gemini, but with the full perigee moon you'll only be able to see 20 or so. That's still a nice show. For best results, watch the sky after 10 PM Saturday night (Dec 13th) until dawn on Sunday morning (Dec 14th).
