Fun Facts about August 2010

 

I know, I'm a little late with this one.  It's been sitting in my draft folder and I almost forgot about it.

 

This August has:

  • 5 Sundays  (let's try to take at least one of them off!)
  • 5 Mondays  (like we really needed one more of those!)
  • 5 Tuesdays (really pushing your luck here, August 2010!)

Check out one of the ways I've battled the extra days! End of Summer Vacation 2010 Blow-Out!

This only happens once every 823 years.  Whew, I was afraid I was going to have to start dis-liking August!

And the best part about August 2010?  TWO "MOONS" ALL MONTH!  Mars will be it's brightest in the night sky all month and on August 27th it will come within 34.65 miles of the Earth.  Grab a blanket, head to the backyard, or a rooftop if you've got one you can get to safely, and look up into the sky at 12:30am August 27th -- this will be your last chance to see Mars this close until the year 2287 (I don't know about you, but that year is looking bad for me!).

Wow, Tish!  Talk about some things I would never have known.  And to think, I would have had to wait til 2287 to see Mars so close! :)

Hi Tish, Really only partially retired, I will not ask what the other part will be at that point (might be interesting for a B movie script though.) I am OK with August seeming to be longer this year as it is my anniversary month and generally a very nice time of year here in Minnesota. It is funny how February is the month that seems to drag on for us.

Mars is going to be too close. That's almost scary. :D

In 2287 even my grandchildren will be old.

Steve -- You won't ask and I won't tell!  Happy Anniversary, may there be many, many more!

Glenn -- It does seem a little close, doesn't it? 

William -- Good answer!  I'm behind because the month is too long.  I like it!

You know.... that year is looking really bad for me too! I don't think I'll need a blanket, but I will try to catch the moon at 12:30 am on the 27th (26th to me). LOL

For some reason, this month felt long. Now I know why. Of course a bunch of 100+ degree days don't help.
