Moonshiners All--

It's almost 4AM where I am... I just went out to the balcony and looked high 
into the air to find the moon like a comtrex capsule, half shiny white, half 
matte mauve-red, like you could almost pull the halves apart and spill out 
the little red balls of time-released pain-reliever....

How does it look from where all you all are out there on other continents or 
incontinents?
