The above was just a regular 'ole moonrise over some Sonoma vineyards. Tonight's gonna be a doozy. For the entire northern hemisphere. This evening's Autumn Equinox brings the first Super Harvest Moon in 20 years; a rare combo of Summer setting on a full moon. It'll make nearby Jupiter the second-brightest object in the sky. Step out, crack open some pumpkin beers, and turn up the tunes. Fall's a-comin'. Here's a super soundtrack: Elliott Smith "Harvest Moon" (Neil Young) The Kinks "Autumn [...]

So damn refreshing it's like diving into the cold ocean with a mean hangover, invigorating every sense you've got. I'm having it with chicken curry right now and it's sending chills down my body.
