Apparently, from what I gather, tonight's moonrise is going to play a trick on you and make you think that the moon is HUGE. Something about it being near the horizon....solstice...something. Just watch for the moon to come up and prepare to be amazed.
A ceasefire, facilitated by the Egyptians, has been reached between Israel and Palestine. It will go into effect tonight at 11 pm (6 am Thursday in Israel).

In honor of Andi's big trip to Italy, I would like to report that that country's paramilitary police, the Carabinieri, are outlawed from having lovers. They don't want such scandalous things to mar the force's name. TOO BAD FOR YOU, ANDI! No Italian military policeman lovers!
