Took a drive in the jeep on this gorgeous Labor Day to explore South Jersey back roads. Came across this yellow bike standing next to Old Glory. What an amazing find.

During a Waxing Gibbous the moon will rise in the east in mid-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset. The moon is then visible though most of the night sky setting a few hour before sunrise. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.
