Bearing in mind that these two phases:28th Aug 10:35 and 4th Sept
02:33 are similar and that the following one 11th Sept 12:44 is nearly
a classic wet one for the UK, it might be an idea for disaster
watchers to keep on station for the next week or so.

I imagine that another strong hurricane will strike the Caribbean
somewhere near Eluthera, Bahamas and Florida perhaps? Not that I am
much good at predicting where or even what. It could be a cyclone in
the Bay of Bengal or a major quake anywhere.

If I were a miner I'd take an holiday though. Somewhere quite far from
Jamaica. Somewhere that I wouldn't have to go by plane would be good.

Time I started getting ready to meet my maker too. I have played the
fool far too long. I aught to clean up my act.

Time to get ready for next year.

I used to use a simple wheel where I could divide the lunar phases
into three important divisions:

24:00
03:00
06:00
09:00
12:00
15:00
18:00 and
21:00
.... all gave similar spells. There were obvious problems with the set-
up. In this list for instance, the times 03:00, 09:00, 15:00 and 21:00
are usually thunderstorm spells. The others tend towards low cloud and
mists.

I had worse qualms with this list:
01:00
04:00
07:00
10:00
13:00
16:00
19:00 and
22:00

The reason is that some of them tend to be phases that occur when
there is a major cyclone in or near the tropics. These have an effect
on British weather that has thrown me off in the past.

The only way I had of working with them -a code crib, was if there was
a spate of similar spells occurring just before them.

That was a tell tale for hurricanes or large earthquakes. It still is.
Note a recent spate of large earthquakes and the number of super-
cyclones that occurred around the same dates.

Which brings me to the problem of times of lunar phases that occur
just on the cusp of a change in the above. (And of course the rest of
the 24 hours.)

I had myopically adhered to the wrong idea that it was all based on
the longitude. And that this longitude was coincidentally the same one
used by the rest of the world.

It would have been the same weather and etc had the rest of the world
adhered to the Jerusalem centralised maps of the dark ages. The 24
hour clock being the key. But the cycle wasn't so simple as I had
proposed.

It's even easier to comprehend. (If somewhat trickier to allocate
spells to.) And all made possible by the machinations of the devil.

We are still a long way from turning our swords into ploughshares and
our spears into pruning hooks and killing foreigners with pruning
hooks and ploughshares though.
