On March 19, the moon will be as close to the Earth as it has been for 20 years. It will appear
14%% larger and 30% brighter, due to its distance.

Jim - You are messing with us, right? That's really a photo of your bowling ball from your Tuesday night league. I saw one just like it in the Flintstones, and well, you do kind of remind me of Fred. I heard you are trying to bring bowling shoes back into fashion, is this true? I did see a batch of plaid bowling shirts on their way up the elevator to AGS enroute for a LO patch on the pocket..
