Ralph - happy belated birthday. I will hit 80 in December and feel like 30. Its those five and zeros in birthdays that make you thoughtful. At least we had running water in Mason City, Washington - the Columbia River (home of Grand Coulee Dam in the thirties... Yes fond memories of tipping over outhouses. Those wern't really good old days. Today are good days. Sailing keeps you feeling good. Clyde Thorington ex C27 now C30 still single hand in 28 knots ILEAN2 San Jose, CA

But Here's a little Oddity I thought you, my friends would get a kick out of it. It's a bit of a stretch to make it Sailing Content.. but it ..IS.. Celestial Info.. So IT'S "close" to Topic... :-) Why I'll live to be 100 ! 100 years old? Yep….. One Hundred Years... Exactly…..to the day! The reason IS.....… I was born in La Center WA (early name was LaCentre… French for “The Center” ) …Longitude West 122 degrees On…Friday…. October 30, 1931 around 11:00 AM A Full moon had occurred the night before... One hundred years from that day, there'll be a FULL MOON... And a total ECLIPSE of the Moon will happen! There has NEVER been a Full ECLIPSE of the moon… on any October 30 ... since before my birth.... AND….There won’t be ANY….. Until OCTOBER 30, 2031 ………… Thursday at around 11:00 PM! Exactly One Hundred Years to the day…. from my birth. And at the opposing time of the day part of my birth! What’s more.. The PEAK brightness and maximum duration will happen along that 122 degree Meridian in the Northern Hemisphere that longitude runs through the West coast of the U.S. and Canada. Through ……La Center Washington! … A LUNAR eclipse … On my 100th birthday! Strange but TRUE. Confirmation ? see: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEcat/LEdecade2031.htm With all those Oddities happening on my birthday, it has to be a Celestial Plan meant to say…… I ain’t gonna GO until the Lunar eclipse of October 30…2031… If you're around then... I buy Martinis for everyone..... October 29.. Happy Halloween Ralph Ahseln See how Windows Mobile brings your life together—at home, work, or on the go. See Now
