Castle visit checking wind



Went up to the castles to check wind, because as you know castles are build on top of hills. Too windy up there, southwesternwinds. The only place to fly could have been Toix, but my last pilot of the year left too early to go to Toix. So relaxed and went hiking again, which was very nice in such a nice temperatures. If this is the planet warming up, then I am just enjoying it for the moment. If it is really the planet warming up, then it is scary, because last days we had 20 degrees and more, which is a bit much, even for us down here.

As a paraglider you look up don't you. You watch clouds, how they race, or how they standstill. I also look up at night, to see if it is a clear night, to see if clouds are moving, if there are any. Well I am definetely gonna look up tomorrow and see the full moon. That full moon will be special, as that happens once in a blue moon... .
Blue moon ?

Blue moon is a second full moon in a month, which is peculiar. And very special if this happens on newyears eve.

Will the moon be blue ? Of course not. When does a moon turn blue ? Never. So there is a phrase saying, I'll mary you lady, under a blue moon. Poor girl.

The moon was blue though for more than two years. After the Krakatau, vulcan in Sumatra Indonesia, exploded more than hundred years ago. It was told that they could here a "bang" even 600 km away. It had the force of a 100 megaton nuclear bomb. The ash of the eruption was the reason the moon was seen blue.
I don't know if you were interested. I am, as a paraglider pilot I have been looking up for lots of years now.






Blue moonshine on the contrary is a very potential marihuana plant, originally early nineties, mix of thai-seed with afghan. I was told.
