The moon certainly was very full last night.

[randomness]

Mid-Autumn Festival is when the moon is supposedly at it's fullest and roundest. I was out driving on empty roads in the wee hours of the morning--it's a great time to drive, as long as deer aren't jumping in front of your car--and the sight of the moon, full and bright reminded me that Mid-Autumn festival was today.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! (中秋节快乐!)

Now I want a mooncake. Preferably a plain black bean one.

Tonight's the peak of both the full moon and the equinox

Wow, I wonder when the last time was that those were within 6 or so hours of each other.
