The commercial used to say, "You call it CORN.  WE call it maize."

Around here we call that one a dipper moon.

Evening blogsters:

The balloonsters got a break with the weather this AM.  Filled the sky with all manner of monsters, Pepsi cans, witches, pizzas, smokey the bears, mother hubbards.... drifted north along the Rio Grande valley, came down, a lot of them, in Bernalillo.

Nice morning.  I watched the mass ascension from a place called, NO TRESPASSING, which is where I've gone for a number of years when I decide to take a look.... East of I 25, it avoids the crowds, is free, and has a great view. 

Might post later when the draws are in on the test posts.

Later,

Jack
