Tonight is the big “supermoon” total lunar eclipse. It should be clear skies where I am tonight, so I should be able to see the lunar eclipse without worrying about clouds.

Politics in America is weird. Candidates are running for office far too early. It’s the silly season. The first voting is till 5 months away – the Iowa Caucus is February 1 and the NH Primary is February 9. By then our infatuation with candidates will have changed a couple of times, and I suspect…
