Reading banned books by moonlight . . .

Monday, October 6, 2025. It's the Moon's day . . . and it's a big one. The Harvest Moon rises over Tulseytown tonight starting about 10:45 pm. It’s the first of three Supermoons in 2025 – October, November and December – and will be the largest and brightest full Moon of the year. The weatherfeather promises another 90º day for TulseyTown today with some clouds showing up this afternoon. Today's light and varying breezes are to become Northerlies overnight bringing a significantly cooler day tomorrow.

When All The Books Are Gone

In the future, when all the books are gone,

people will walk around crying,

just sobbing, loudly, endlessly, on the city streets,

not knowing why, knowing only they are missing

something, something for which they have

no name. Meanwhile . . .
