Occludine 18, 27.

CONCEPT

COMMENTS
- Last night was a quiet night in. I spent most of it reading a book, which I'll get into shortly.
- There's persistantly little to write about weather-wise these days. The border of the midwestern low front is as far south as the Ohio river, and the winds are persistantly to the north. As a result, we're experiencing what's typically reserved for Ontario.
- Astonomy. From Adler: "Saturn is high in the southeast at sunset early in the month. By month's end the lengthening evening twilight prevents it from being visible until it's only 20 degrees shy of the zenith. The planet forms a slightly obtuse angle with Castor and Pollux, the two brightest stars of the constellation Gemini. It sets in the west-northwest around 4 a.m. at the start of the month, around 2 a.m. by month's end."
