No, you're not seeing things

 One cold day you look up in the sky and see three suns, you're not seeing things, what you're seeing is what are called sundogs, they're cause by ice crystals in the sky reflecting the sun, the suns on the left and right of the real sun are called mock suns.(Just reflections of the sun bouncing off the ice crystals. 

They're are moon dogs as well, and yes the sun or moon may have a halo around them those are also cause by ice crystals and they usually indicate it is going to rain the next day.

Rainbows are made the same way, except it is NOT cause by ice crystals, but by water droplets staying in the sky acting like a prism. Rainbows may appear after a rain.

Sundogs are usually  seen in Alaska in mid-winter months.         (end)

Why Wearing A Mask Helps

                       Why Wearing A Mask Helps

First let's go way back to ancient Egypt B.C. with a tomb with a sign warning "If this tomb is open you will surely be curse to die", of course there are no such thing as curses, what actually did cause the people to die were the harmful bacteria inside; Which they knew nothing about way back then; Later, they would wear so called "magical" masks to protect themselves, actually they were unwillingly protecting themselves from the deadly bacteria.


            Let's Head Forward To The 21st Century

When we are told to wear masks it is not only to protect ourselves or others from the conronavirus ,it is also to prevent the virus from entering a host, if a virus cannot enter a host it will eventually die. That's the main idea of mask wearing.

Unfortunately, there are some people with bad attitudes "I don't have to wear a mask, if I don't want to !" Let's forget about ourselves , and respect the rights of others. if 100% of the peoples of the world did wear masks, the virus would have been radicated by now.

This raccoon is reminding us to wear our masks, if that doesn't convince us, let's make an anagram of the word 'raccoon' by re-arranging its letters to spell out 'conrona" which means crown. So let's "crown" the coronavirus by wearing our masks.  (end)

BLM (Song Blog)

BLM song blog: First a little history the group 'The Ink Spots' goes way back to the 1930's,  Nat King Cole was the first African American to have  a variety show on tv. Click the links to hear the songs from the various artists; One song each 12 songs total, various genres.

That Sunday;That Spring
