However I have an uncle in the mid-west, so I feel your pain; keep the blood-pressure down and the blogs flowing. Loved the explanations and the pictures which have helped develop my understanding of the Moon. Many thanks! <br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363091056731122702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644183700798263875.post-76977802849293542342013-04-19T18:37:21.840-04:002013-04-19T18:37:21.840-04:00I live in England and luckily we don't suffer ...I live in England and luckily we don't suffer too much with the religious crack-pots that you seem to.

When I was at school the physics teacher told us over and again. "Science happens all the time. Open your bloody eyes!" That was generally when someone asked a fatuous question that could be answered by looking out the window.<br /><br />Now I live in New Zealand and I've just looked out the window. OMG!

Anyway, I enjoy reading your blogs and might have to stop being anonymous if I'm to keep commenting. I've also really enjoyed some of the links to other writers, especially for math....and Fibonacci series, slug cats....still trying to get a grip on the simple stuff, many years after school and university.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644183700798263875.post-45533285632883936432012-03-27T21:26:07.106-04:002012-03-27T21:26:07.106-04:00You are correct (been a long time since I studied ...You are correct (been a long time since I studied conic sections).
