Welcome to the Arizona Buffalo Slayers!: The "Solstice Moon" Happens Tonight

Where did Buffalo Slayers Come From You Ask?

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells...excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. in this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers." ~ Cliff Claven

The "Solstice Moon" Happens Tonight

The official start of Summer is this Friday. With the full moon tonight and the Summer Solstice so close, the moon will look like it's hoped up on some type of 'performance enhancement' drugs! Don't worry, it didn't get a hold of any little blue pills, it's called a Solstice Moon:

"On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around. You'll see a giant form rising in the east. At first glance it looks like the full Moon. It has craters and seas and the face of a man, but this "moon" is strangely inflated. It's huge!

There's no better time to see it. The full Moon of June 18th is a "solstice moon", coming only two days before the beginning of northern summer. This is significant because the sun and full Moon are like kids on a see-saw; when one is high, the other is low. This week's high solstice sun gives us a low, horizon-hugging Moon and a strong Moon Illusion."
