“Waves can be great fun – but can also be powerful and dangerous and should be treated with respect,” writes columnist
CLIVE WILLIAMS.
I’VE spent a lot of time either in or on water, particularly the ocean, so my interest in waves of the watery kind is perhaps not surprising.
Columnist Clive Williams.
Many Canberrans spend time on the coast or visit the south coast (when not being made unwelcome by covid fears), so I assume they would also be interested in waves.
People who fish from rock shelves should definitely take an interest in waves, if only for survival reasons.
Book Review: ‘Unbelievable: The Unmasking of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley’
A great man from the greatest generation
Tom Brokaw’s inspiring book “The Greatest Generation,” about those who came of age during the Great Depression and World War II, revealed an American generation who gave so much and asked for so little. They lived in extraordinary, challenging times but managed to build a better world with the shared values of duty, honor, courage, service, and love of family and country. Above all, they accepted responsibility for their choices.
Although “Unbelievable: The Unmasking of Dr. Harrison Miller Moseley” tells its story through the eyes of one man, like Brokaw’s book, it reveals an inspiring generation that is sadly soon to be completely gone from this earth.
Skywatch: What’s happening in the heavens in May Blaine P. Friedlander Jr.
Venus and
sun as it sets in the west-northwest. The fleet Mercury at zero magnitude, bright enough to see in the dark heavens climbs the western sky until the middle of May, when it appears to retreat again toward the western horizon to greet Venus (-3.8 magnitude, very bright) leading to a conjunction May 29, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. The new
moon occurs May 11, but you probably won’t be able to see the skinny young moon until May 13, when it nudges Mercury low on the western horizon just after dusk.
