It is a perfect night for watching the moon, or mooning, that can be fun too. ( Ha Ha Ha ) 🙂
Interesting Fact: The moon’s diameter is about 1/4 the diameter of the Earth. About 49 moons would fit inside the Earth. ( http://www.moonconnection.com/moon_facts.phtml )

I wonder where they can be swimming in such a hurry, maybe they are late to be somewhere or maybe they are just afraid of me. 🙂
Interesting Fact: Canvasbacks are diver ducks well equipped with their own form of flippers—large webbed feet that make them smooth and graceful swimmers. They spend much of their time in the water and use their long bills to feed by digging through bottom sediments in search of aquatic plant stems and roots, or submerged insects, crustaceans, and clams.

Day 3 / 365
Sometimes you can get an idea by just turning the light on. 🙂
Interesting Fact: Electric arc lighting, invented in 1809, was much safer but far too bright for use in a small area. A smaller light was needed, and in 1880 Thomas Edison patented the first commercially viable incandescent light bulb.

Day 2 / 365
To some people it may look like a stairway to heaven, but to most of us it’s just a New Jersey Turnpike. ( Which is no heaven )
Interesting Fact: If you wanted to visit Bruce Springsteen’s hometown of Freehold, what NJ Turnpike exit would you take? Exit 8 is Heightstown – Freehold. But don’t go to Freehold expecting to visit a Springsteen Museum – there isn’t one. According to an article by fellow Freehold native Mark Hyman in “Business Week” in 2000, that’s the way The Boss likes it. Apparently he wants things to be low-key and “normal” when he goes there to visit his old haunts. ( http://www.funtrivia.com/en/subtopics/The-New-Jersey-Turnpike-What-Exit-297450.html )
