Jazz in the Park, Superman and the Moon

Well, Red Bank area friends and fans, it's Thursday, it's supposed to be a bit muggy and there's a chance of thunderstorms. Thanks, weather troll.

The moon was still pretty "bella luna" glowing and waning from full last night, though. It's called a waning gibbous. Yes, a waning gibbous. And how's your waning gibbous today? OK, onward.

Here's the tide table for Sea Bright, in case you need it for some reason today or are just curious:

2013-08-22  6:13 AM EDT   Sunrise
2013-08-22 10:39 AM EDT   3.98 feet  High Tide
2013-08-22  4:51 PM EDT  -0.33 feet  Low Tide
2013-08-22  7:42 PM EDT   Sunset
2013-08-22 10:59 PM EDT   4.09 feet  High Tide
2013-08-23  5:14 AM EDT  -0.50 feet  Low Tide
2013-08-23  6:14 AM EDT   Sunrise

And here's some interesting sun and moon information from www.tides4fishing.com:

"The lunar phase is a Waning Gibbous. Today we will have 13 hours and 28 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 12:59 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 8 hours and 0 minutes."

It'll be a nice moon for Jazz in the Park at Riverside Gardens Park in Red Bank at 7:30 p.m.

Well, there's not much going on today in the way of events and activities, aside from the fabulous Jazz in the Park, so we'll point you now to the news …
