We have very high winds here tonight (W 98 gusts 140 km/h)
and it is waning crescent moon, so the situation is the same
as the night of January 6, 1994, the second night of my
mildest and best waning crescent high. However tonight
there are no signs of a high for me yet, but perhaps a
slight nervousness/anxiety, maybe an anticipation like
Christmas Eve as a child. Also as far as I can remember
I did not have a waxing gibbous moon trial precursor 5.5 lunar
months ago, whereas I had in January 1994.

Isaac Asimov, in his Guide to the Bible, Volume 1, says
that the cherubim are personifications of the storm and
the seraphim are personifications of the lightning. Three
other of my waning crescent highs (Sept91, Jun93, and
Aug/Sept94) had clear sky lightning at or near the onset
of the highs, while the above-mentioned Jan94 had
highly variable weather. The clear sky lightning I think
was due to solar activity a few days before affecting
the ionosphere.

Also the night of January 6, 1994 I walked to The Ship Inn
and then from there up Signal Hill, but I am not going to
venture out tonight.

Asimov also says that the serpent can represent the
lightning, and I relate the Naga water serpent associated
with the Buddha to blue clear sky lightning over water
at the onset of my late August/early September94
waning crescent high.
