Gotta love this internet and instant international communication!

Your Earthshine picture is dated 2006-03-01 18:56 UTC and has a post
timestamp of 2006-03-02 00:33 UTC. I really enjoyed the picture of the
new crescent Moon, but then didn't give it much thought further
thought.

I live half-way around the world from you at long 111 West. At about
2006-03-02 02:30 UTC, I was driving around and hap-hazardously glanced
to west. There was your picture - um, I mean the Moon - setting on the
west horizon.
