This Week's Rant

The Sanguine Moon

Last night, after a week of reading about it and hearing about it on the news, we had a full, lunar eclipse. As with most press-hyped events, the sanguine moon event was yet another disappointment.

Astronomers excitedly coaxed me to look by saying  that if I missed this wonder I'd have to wait until 2010 to see it again. This sent waves of urgency running through me until I realized that 2010 is less than two years away.

Well, you just never know. I figured I'd better watch it this time - just in case.

While I watched the earth's shadow crawl across the surface of the moon - I waited with breathless anticipation to see the earth's dusty and particulated atmosphere cast its polluted umbra across the pocked, lunar face. I was perfectly ready to be teased, titillated and awed by the site of a bloated, blood-red moon hovering ruddy in the clear, winter sky.

I gazed up waiting for the  awe - straining my neck to watch that ancient orb turn ruddy and pale on a star-lit night.

Maybe, they said, the moon might be tinged with turquoise. Visit this page to read the rest of this rant.

Luana asks about Google Pack
I saw a "Google Pack" site where I could download free software, including the free start edition of Spyware Doctor, Picasa, Star Office and several other programs. You could select which programs you wanted. When reading the license agreement, I noticed that in the privacy part, it mentioned information being able to be collected and sent to the software programs and third party, even oversees. I was suspicious about this and did not click to agree.

I have and am using Spy Sweeper but have read in my CloudEight newsletters that it is ok to have more than one spyware program. I noticed that Spy Blaster also was a free program to download. Is this Google Pack and also this Spy Blaster safe to download?

I trust your suggestions and have been a long time subscriber to your Premium newsletter.
