Earlier this year, I saw a doctor and had him put his finger on a thing in my groin. He ordered an ultrasound test, which I did last week. It's a hernia. I learned what a hernia is from the doctor.

This last lunar eclipse observance of mine was, despite missing most of the actual eclipse, my favourite moontan ever. I was working, closing a store, as the already fully-eclipsed moon came over the horizon. By the time my shift was done, most of the shadow had gone.
