Time and time again I am reminded that like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, whatever it is I think I need is usually right in front of me, but for some inexplicable reason I seem incapable of seeing that until I've exhausted all other possibilities. I am really trying to...

It seemed this month's full moon would never end, and did it ever seem to bring out the crazies. I took this full moon photo on the night before it was officially full (Tuesday), and that's when someone apparently opened the doors to the looney bin.  Just a few...
