SUPER MOON

Most of you will have heard about the recent super moon – a full moon that’s larger than normal because the moon is closer to Earth. Hubby and I were disappointed when we checked it out last night. The moon looked pretty, but not much larger than normal. The photos didn’t come out that well but you’ll get the idea. Bella, our puppy, came along to see what the fuss was about.

STARTING OVER

One of our local television stations is currently advertising for applicants for a new reality-type show. They want people who are interested in starting a new job/career.

I wondered what I could do if I started over. I would definitely start writing a lot sooner than I did, and I think I’d like to be a travel agent or something that relates to the tourism industry.

If you were starting over, what career choice would you make?

Our local supermarkets have vouchers on the back of their shopping receipts, and I usually scan them to see if there is anything that might apply to me.

I was surprised to see the following voucher:

Great Gift for Someone With Every Thing!

$20 + p & p for YOUR OWN ACRE ON THE MOON

(as filed with the United Nations)

Purchase your slice of the moon

I blinked when I saw this ad. Hello? How can someone sell off bits of the moon? According to their website they can. Maybe the better question is who wants to purchase the moon? And would the title stand up in court? I also wondered how much postage and packing it would take to wrap an acre of moon.

What do you think?
