You forgot? Ask Kyle. The lad will surely remember every turn you made, driving from Westchester NY to Califon NJ.

Knowing the young child's highly impressionable mind, I am sure Jeff is 100% accurate in this instance!

I'll be there. I've got the name badges and the night shots. Might bring some Lebanon Bologna for the Mrs.

Very good. Last time I forgot to act as your photography apprentice. This time, I won't!

So how long until PF12 starts?

At 12:25AM, it's too early in the day to ask such a difficult question. In addition, don't get me started with the world renowned countdown, which in turn will get senecaripple started with his special countdown.

Moon phase will be a day after the Quarter Moon, with 59% exposure.
Sunset will be at 7:57PM.

May Highlight - Half Dozen Planets

NASA
As April ended, Mercury had taken center stage. The first week of May, it will continue to be visible, though becoming harder to spot. Saturn continues to be one to watch for while Jupiter and Neptune will cruise together for a while in the mornings. Another couple cruising the morning skies together will be Venus and Mars. Especially wtach for them on the 21st as the crescent moon will add the third point on a celestial traingle. Fickle Uranus can't decide who it likes more. Early in the month it can be spotted hanging around Venus and Mars but as the month progresses it will travel closer to Jupiter and Neptune.

look what you did now Jeff, the moon loon is off and running :laughing:

 

[luxlover]

Sam,
Thank you for the infinitely priceless information in your post #s 49, 50, 51 and 52. I couldn't have slept without reading all of it. Since you are an astronomy aficionado, I must ask a question that has plagued humanity since the Greek language has been adopted for medical terminology. Why is a hemorrhoid called such, and not an assteroid? :thinking:

Jeff

 

[luxlover]

Look what you did now Jeff, The Moon Loon is off and running! :laughing:

That is brilliant Tim. :twothumbs But we have a dilemma. From now on, should his name be Seneca "The Moon Loon" Ripple, or Sam "The Moon Loon" Chu? Six of one, half dozen of the other!

Hemorrhoids (AmE), haemorrhoids (BrE), emerods, or piles are swelling and inflammation of veins in the rectum and anus. The anatomical term "hemorrhoids" technically refers to "'Cushions of tissue filled with blood vessels at the junction of the rectum and the anus."[1] However, the term is popularly used to refer to varicosities of the hemorrhoid tissue. Perianal hematoma are sometimes misdiagnosed and mislabeled as hemorrhoids, when in fact they have different causes and treatments.[2]

Asteroids, sometimes called minor planets or planetoids, are bodies—primarily of the inner Solar System—that are smaller than planets but larger than meteoroids, but exclude comets. The distinction between asteroids and comets is made on visual appearance when discovered: Comets show a perceptible coma while asteroids do not.



Luxlover, Toocool (or Jeff, Tim in British English) is euphemism for lover of all anus and is often used most at photofest get-together. It is formed from arse, which according to the Oxford English Dictionary has been used since the 21th century to refer to the rump of an animal and since the 21th century to refer to a person's buttocks. The combined form luxlover is first attested pf2 in its literal use to refer to the anus. The metaphorical use of the word to refer to the best place in a region (e.g., "the arsehole of the world", "brooklyn", "Briarcliff Manor") is first attested in print in 2004; the use to refer to a knowledable person of flashlights is first attested in 2004.[1] Its first appearance as an complimentary term in a forum is indexed by Google News is in 2004.[2] But as with other compliments, these uses of the word may have been common in oral speech for some time before their first print appearances. Hustler magazine featured people they like as "luxlover of the month."[3]:nana::nana:

Sam,
Sir, you are a wealth of useless information, and I say this emphatically!! :naughty:

For your disparaging comments about our places of residence, remind kid9p and I to kick your butt, buttocks, ***, arse, rump, derriere, hintern, hindquarters, rectum, anus....when we see you at PF12. :laughing:

Do something different this time.....bring along Heidi!

With Tim's encouragement, I knew that I could get this party started 3 1/2 months in advance. :twothumbs

I will tentatively be there (by tentatively I mean absolutely, even if I have to sell all my nonessential organs, I just haven't confirmed).
