G'mornin, snails!

I'll just take that hot cocoa - it looks really thick and rich !

My cat is driving me nuts...I have coconut oil in my hair to deep condition it and he wants it !

Ahhhhh, coconut oil. So that's how I'll get them to approach my mellon and not be afraid of my face...

I'mma slather my eyebrows with the stuff!!! :D

Morning Mad.
How the job-thing going?

The CEO of the acquiring company visited and addressed a certain population of associates recently. Speculation still remains the same...my team has a good chance of being retained; aside from the news of the M & A, I don't feel like I have a reason to be overly concerned and actively search elsewhere for employment.

I'm sticking to my plan of waiting until 2017 to reassess and take action. :thumb:

Dayum, after reading what I typed, I feel like my job has conditioned me more and more to speak and write like a politician. :matrix:

Guess I missed the moon :facepalm:
Good morning, Dale :)...still a chance tonight. Supposed to be the biggest!
Yes, there is still hope for me ;)
Fun facts. Many of the articles are confusing.

It reached its closest point (perigee) already, and is moving away now. It happened during daylight this morning. (8:52 EST, 1352 GMT today the 14th). So that's just after moonset, which was 7:30ish a.m. today for my location.

So this morning's moonset was the biggest for our viewing near the east coast USA, and will certainly be farther away at moonset tonight than it was at moonset this morning since this am's moonset for us was closest to perigee. But it's still close enough to see the effect tonight and tomorrow, I bet it won't make much difference. Of course it all depends on where you're located on the globe as to how your view is timed relative to perigee.

I'm bummed because I got up early today to see it set (since that was closest to perigee), and there was fog and cloud cover. But I got to see it rise last night and it was cool. I'll look at it tonight too.

Either way, Dale, Katmar is correct that you can still see a great moonrise today and set today too. :) (And the rise might be bigger than last night, IDK, didn't do the math). The moonset was biggest this a.m., and bigger than the rise. The diff between the two days for moonrise is negligible particularly for us Americans since perigee was approximately between the two rises.

There's a good pic here of the relative size difference and an explanation here, courtesy of NASA:
'Supermoon' Science: NASA Explains the Closest Full Moon Until 2034

NASA confirms that both days are good, it's more about the weather.
"I've been telling people to go out at night on either Sunday or Monday night to see the supermoon," Petro said in a statement from NASA. "The difference in distance from one night to the next will be very subtle, so if it's cloudy on Sunday, go out on Monday.
