What color next for our satellite?

We hear of the blue moon, and the black moon. Now we\’ve got a pink moon! Not to mention the one about the moon\’s being made of green cheese.

Mondays I usually don\’t go out on the road bike; but when the full moon falls on a Monday, I make an exception to the rule. It was cool and clear this morning; and no wind! WHY couldn\’t it have been wind still yesterday, when I did my long ride?

I had a gorgeous view of the moonlight on the river. I always feel that I can\’t get enough of it, perhaps because I can\’t get much of it. After all, the moon is full only once a month; and if the weather doesn\’t cooperate, there goes my chance for that month.

Speaking of colors, yesterday a rider passed me; and I noticed that his bicycle was chartreuse. I had a chartreuse-colored helmet, but realized after a while that it was too big; so I bought a new helmet. When I saw that bicycle yesterday, I suddenly drew a mental blank and couldn\’t remember the color of the headpiece that I had on! Riding a bicycle does weird things to me sometimes.

Incidentally, I\’ll need to replace my helmet before this year is over; what color next? Another blue one? White? Silver? I know this much: I want a visible color.

It\’s a good thing I went out moon-gazing when I did. As I was riding back home, the sky was already starting to get light; and it wasn\’t six o\’clock yet! It\’s another sign that Summer is coming fast. I\’d better enjoy having cool mornings, because I can\’t expect many more of them. Soon it will be swelteringly hot and humid at 5 am!
