From my notebook:

  • The new moon started last night. Now it is in "Cancer" and will be here for the next few days. New moons tend to bring all of the traditional moon energies of sensitivity, emotion and deception. (Astrology)
  • Today is "National Camera Day." Cameras have come a long way! From huge bulky cameras to the ones that comes standard on our cell phones and everything in between. Remember the "disk" cameras? Or the classic "Polaroid" cameras! (Holidays and Observations)
