Beautiful pictures.  It didn't show up as a supermoon by me, which has me a little bummed.  It was nice and bright, though, which kinda made up for it a tiny bit.
There is something relaxing in working with sharp pointy things.

What if there were no hypothetical situations?

It looks the same to everyone everywhere on earth.  These pictures were taken with really long zoom lenses, which makes the moon seem even bigger.  You' didn't miss out, don't worry.
On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

whew, I thought it was just me, I liked walking around without a flashlight but it seemed no different then any other full moon-except for the super powers. but no need to point out the obvious.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
