Posted: 10.02.2001 Oh Mr. Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon...
Did you have trouble sleeping last night (since most of you will be reading this come Tuesday)? Dennis the weather guy just said that the full Harvest Moon tonight is one of the brightest of the year -- and it's one of the worst "wives tale" causes for insomnia. I don't need any more help with that, thankyouverymuch. But he told everyone to get outside and bask in the chilly moonlight (we're dropping in the FIFTIES up here tonight - two degrees shy of the record low on this date - and our water temps dropped 10-degrees in one week!), so we're going to do just that before heading off to bed... It's one of the rare Harvest Moons in the month of October -- hope you didn't miss it!
I actually slept the best ever in a long time, last night. :) It was a beautiful moon out, though.

Ironically I slept great, too (and I never sleep great)! I say bring on another one... ;-)

What was the logic behind going out and basking in the moonlight? Did he think it would help you sleep better or did he just mean get out there & enjoy it?

Just to get out there and enjoy it. :-) Besides it being a rarity (the Harvest Moon is usually in September), we're having unseasonably low temps in Tampa Bay right now -- almost 20 degrees cooler than this time last week! Our water temps dropped 10 degrees in seven days! It should warm up here again by Thursday -- but right now we're having FL-January temps in October.
