Syd, this is the explanation I got concerning the dead fish pic we spoke of...Fish KillAdded by the Times-Picayune on July 4, 2009 at 5:55 PMSUSAN POAG/THE TIMES-PICAYUNE Dead tilapia float on the surface of a borrow pit treated by Wildlife and Fisheries with the fish toxicant rotenone to help eradicate the tilapia, an invasive fish native to Africa in lower Plaquemines Parish. The fish have been found in a series of drainage canals, ditches and borrow pits from Diamond community south to Port Sulphur.An aerator with multiple lines into the pond, helps stir up the chemical in the water.
Penumbral lunar eclipseThe moon will be in Earth's shadow in a penumbral lunar eclipse July 7 at about the time that it will be rising over Australia after dusk and setting over western North and South America in the early predawn hours. When a blooming Moon is face-a-face an expansive Sun, does an eclipse really matter? The shadowing will not be visible in India. Eclipses pass, just as rainbows do. What remains is the promise of a new beginning.The July full moon is a"renewal" moon for two reasons. For farmers, it marks the onset of the crop-sowing season. For many others, it is the Day of the Guru - the teacher who shows the path and then steps away from your light, urging you to renew your quest to spirituality.It is a promising full moon waiting to be harvested by the sweat of one's own efforts.
