Thursday 6/4 Tonight's Full Moon, Go to Google Images to read text. Song of the Moon Priscilla Jane Thompson Oh, a hidden power is in my breast,       A power that none can fathom;   I call the tides from seas of rest,   They rise, they fall, at my behest;   And many a tardy fisher’s boat,   I’ve torn apart and set afloat,        From out their raging chasm.   For I’m an enchantress, old and grave;         Concealed I rule the weather;   Oft set I, the lover’s heart a blaze,   With hidden power of my fulgent rays,   Or seek I the souls of dying men,   And call the sea-tides from the fen,       And drift them out together.   I call the rain from the mountain’s peak,       And sound the mighty thunder;   When I wax and wane from week to week,  The heavens stir...

Thursday. 6/18 Friday 6/19 Rais’d are the dripping oars— Silent the boat: the lake, Lovely and soft as a dream, Swims in the sheen of the moon. –Matthew Arnold (1822–88) https://www.almanac.com/content/two-fishermen-who-rowed-europe# HISTORY Here’s the true story of two oyster dredgers from New Jersey, George Harbo and Frank Samuelson, who voyaged in a tiny open rowboat across the Atlantic.  Legend says that early in 1896, wealthy Police Gazette publisher Richard Fox offered a $10,000 prize to anyone who could cross the ocean without sails or steam. No contemporary accounts confirm this reward, but there is no doubt that Harbo, 30, and Samuelsen, 26, who dredged oysters and clams off the New Jersey coast for a living, were the first to row across the Atlantic, setting a speed record that stood for 114 years.  Of medium stature, both men had spent their lives at sea and were lean and muscular. Both were Norwegi...

The bit of genetic code that causes the  gray squirrel  species to turn black, they showed, is an allele, or a variant form of a specific gene, called MC1R∆24. But that allele doesn't seem to come from gray squirrels. Instead, they showed, the gray squirrel MC1R∆24 allele is "identical" to the MC1R∆24 allele found in another species, fox squirrels ( Sciurus niger ) — one of two mutations that occasionally cause big, usually reddish fox squirr...
