Explanation: The reddened shadow of planet Earth plays across the lunar disk in this telescopic image taken on May 26 near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. On that crisp, clear autumn night a Perigee Full Moon slid through the northern edge of the shadow's dark central umbra. Short for a lunar eclipse, its total phase lasted only about 14 minutes. The Earth's shadow was not completely dark though. Instead it was suffused with a faint red light from all the planet's sunsets and sunrises seen from the perspective of an eclipsed Moon, the reddened sunlight scattered by Earth's atmosphere. The HDR composite of 6 exposures also shows the wide range of brightness variations within Earth's umbral shadow against a faint background of stars.

AOC said, “It’s a miracle! After 100 days of Biden, the moon has grown its northern ice cap back!”.

And AOC said “The Sea of Tranquility has become tranquil again and the sea level has dropped to normal levels.”

We had some high clouds in Tucson but it was enough to block the light completely once the moon was in Its darkest phase. First time I’ve seen a full moon totally snuffed out!

I live in New York City, although not in her district.

The district includes the eastern part of The Bronx and part of north-central Queens. The Queens portion includes the neighborhoods of Astoria, College Point, Corona, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, and Woodside.

The Bronx portion of the district includes the neighborhoods of City Island, Country Club, Van Nest, Morris Park, Parkchester, Pelham Bay, Schuylerville, and Throggs Neck. Roughly half of the population of the district is of Hispanic or Latino heritage, making it one of the more Latino districts in New York. Before redistricting for the 2012 election, much of the area was in New York's 7th congressional district.

I have known whackjob crazy people that had eyes just like her. It sets off the alarms in my head!

I looked up her district and could see that you don't live there. I don't know exactly where you live, but I have been to Manhattan plenty of times and know about where you live from what you have told me. I am sure that your congress critter creature is not any good either, but at least it is not her!
