Ever since I named The Moon after Marcia, I’ve yet to see either of them?

Marcia herself is no surprise as I haven’t been back to Da Burg where she resides, but Marcia The Moon, is an entirely different matter.

I often look to The Moon, aka Marcia, at night in hopes of making wishes, etc and thinking, “Gee, this would really be a romantic moment if I was with somebody,” but ever since the name was published it has been so overcast The Moon, aka Marcia, has virtually disappeared.

Just the other night at the height of my despair as I looked for Marcia in all directions a wino emerged from a nearby box and asked what I was doing. I didn’t want to get into a long conversation so I just told him I was looking for the moon and asked if he’d seen it?

He replied “Yeah! Here it is!”

When I looked in his direction he was bending over with his pants down.

I really need to move to a better neighborhood.

I know there are always moonless nights when for a variety of reasons the Moon, aka Marcia, is hidden from view. But I think a week is rather extensive. I’m starting to feel as though I may have upset the Cosmos or something. I know we shouldn’t trifle with the delicate balance of planets etc. Maybe I violated some ancient law of the universe?

Have any of you seen Marcia? If so would you please let me know to ease my mind. I’m sure it’s nothing more than an overextended eclipse of some kind but it would be nice to know that The Moon, aka Marcia, is still around.

Here is a very interesting Space Fact! As you know my readers are well informed and ultimately a little higher on the intelligent scale than the average person.

All of my writings involve many moments of extensive research. When delving for Moon info I came across an amazing fact. We all know that Pluto was previously the furthest planet from the Sun. Now it is not. Neptune has acquired that distinction by reason of default, which this writer will attempt to correct at a later date. Until that time arrives Neptune will serve as the outer boundary of the solar system. Which is in itself an interesting fact because even when Pluto retained its rightful claim its erratic orbit often caused it to be closer to the Sun than Neptune for extended periods of time.

Here is the interesting fact. Neptune’s solar orbit is 164.88 Earth years. The planet was discovered in 1846. Since its discovery Neptune has yet to make a single trip around the Sun. If that were Earth everyone on the planet would be less than a year old. None of us would be allowed to drive!
