apollo moon

There will be a total lunar eclipse today at noon CET ... which will be completely invisible to everyone in Europe.  

this full moon is otherwise known as a blood moon
(and, yes, I did get up to watch it)

time

I was reading that some U.S. schools are removing analogue clocks because the kids nowadays can't read the time on them.

So, sure, instead of teaching them, some believe they should simply ignore it all in favour of digital clocks.

My thoughts are that we should have more clocks. Clock towers in every town. 

Halifax

       Toronto
Daytona Beach, which conveniently has twelve letters, just to confuse the analogue time learners even more
