      Catch that conjunction with Mars last night? It was within half a degree of the Moon from the southern US – probably got occulted as seen from the Canadian Arctic.

      Check out the moon tonight.

      Woof, woof, arf!

      You know, that was intended as a wolfish howl, but it seems I am too domesticated for that (and please, nobody scratch me behind the ears, that would add insult to injury).
