According to the US Navy Table contained in the link above, the moon is supposed to rise on April 10, 2004 (at my particular latitude) at 12:46, Standard or 1:46 Daylight savings time.
You can use this table (A) to calculate sun rise and moon rise in your particular location. Pretty darn cool, eh?

Well, except for one small detail.....

It is now 2:38AM and moon has yet to rise! There is only a faint glow begining to show.
Also, it seems that our Moon is one confused puppy! The poor thing is rising farther to the WEST again, each succeeding night this month, just like it did each night in March.

Folks, ...this is a very naughty moon!

Doesn't our silvery orb know that each night, following the full moon, it is supposed to rise farther to the east?

Think about it, and you will remember that Diana's chariot normally rises each succeeding night, farther to the East.

So, what's the deal here in the Northwest over the last two months?
Who ever heard of a moon rising farther to the West each night?

The very idea is unAmerican!... Next thing you know NASA will want to take all the credit!

Say..... You don't suppose they are messing with too much Strontium 90 over at Hanford, do you?
I can't speak for any other locations, but I sure can verify mine! .....And, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here to say that this particular moon needs a serious tune up,!

..... Oh yea, one other thing.... Has anyone seen the Milky Way lately? I'm broken-hearted because I think it left me!
