Howl at the moon...

(SKYFOX: Oct. 14, 2008)

The 'Full Hunter's Moon' as it's called for the month of October. It'll be full tomorrow, the 14th at 4:04pm. This full moon is also called the 'Full Travel Moon' or the 'Dying Grass Moon'... really! Do you ever wonder where these names come from? They were given by Native Americans to help them keep track of the seasons. Most are logical- but some can make 'less mature' individuals chuckle- just ask Gene and VB... they look forward to November every year!

Here's a link to the Old Farmers Almanac with a list of Full Moons names for each months of the year.

With just some cloudiness around tomorrow and tomorrow night- we should get a good view. Maybe it'll bring the Red Sox good luck- remember 2004 when we had the full moon and the eclipse!

Fitzgibbon,
'Full Travel Moon'? No chuckles here. 'Full Hunter's Moon'? No chuckles here. What ever could you be referring to, 'cause currently as I sit here ready your blog, I'm not chuckling.

It's like "anchors aweigh" this morning on the myfoxboston blogs!
You guys are really entertaining. I wish I could hang out all day, but I really want to take my son out to enjoy this autumnal weather before it's gone.

I heard a funny line about Palin.

"So what if she can see Russia from her house. I can see the moon from my porch, but that does not make me an astronaut".

"Brass rat-?" Maybe it's just because I haven't had my coffee yet, Cindy...but I've got no idea what you're talking about.

It refers to the class ring Graham_Cracker... that's what it looks like on the ring. I had a friend from high school that went to MIT. Enjoy your coffee!

Cindy, you'll need to have a split screen with VB and Gene next month when you mention the moon, their reactions will be priceless! By the way, the super slo-mo file footage of Gene and the cow and the morning crew's reaction was the funniest stuff on television. If he ever acts up, Cindy, you've got that roll-tape in your back pocket as your ace in the deck!

The Sox will need the full moon and just about every bit of strange luck tonight!

Sadly,it looks like it will take a lot more than luck for the Sox this year but you can never tell waht will happen when Mother Nature leaves the light on for ya!

P.S. Thanks for turning on the heat for your parents on your birthday! I'm sure they appreciated it.
