And if the next total lunar eclipse isn't red enough a bit of pinot noir in the light path could be just the thing.
Heheheeee

That reminds me ....I bought a bottle of tequila recently, well MEZCAL actually. It was a salute to the past, when the custom was that if you drank the last glass in the bottle then you got to eat the worm !!! Except this time around there was a complimentary tiny bottle with the normal 700ml bottle with probably 30 or so worms in it. WORMS FOR EVERYONE !!!!

Best
