I’m trying out a single column theme, that has two columns for the stuff I formerly had in my sidebar, because sometimes the sidebar forces the post down below it. I’m totally frustrated in finding a WordPress theme that displays my photos without distorting them either in IE or Firefox. It’s completely ridiculous how much trouble this is giving me. The main problem seems to be the width of the photos I’m posting, once they go past 1000 pixels it seems to make one browser or the other go nuts. Please be patient while I try to get the navigation, etc. working smoothly.
Update Sunday: I think I have the major issues worked out, though I miss the sidebar, I guess I’ll have to make do with the links etc at the bottom of the page. I’m still working on some minor issues.

The full Moon of June 18th is a “solstice moon”, coming only two days before the beginning of northern summer. This week’s high solstice sun gives us a low, horizon-hugging Moon and a strong Moon Illusion. Low-hanging moons look unnaturally big. At first, astronomers thought the atmosphere must be magnifying the Moon near the horizon, but cameras showed that is not the case. Moons on film are the same size regardless of elevation: example. Apparently, only human beings see giant moons.
The above is according to NASA. To my human eyes tonight’s moon, the night before full, was not that impressive, but it might have been more so if I’d been in a position to see it really low on the horizon.
