Day by Dave by Dave Whamond for August 15, 2023

I had to look this one up. But it is real. Of course it is commercial in origin:

“What is National Chant at the Moon Day?

National Chant at the Moon Day is Stemilt’s way of encouraging YOU to get outside, chant at the moon and enjoy a bag of our famous A Half Mile Closer to the Moon® cherries with your friends and family.

What are A Half Mile Closer to the Moon® cherries?

Our A Half Mile Closer the Moon® cherries are grown by Stemilt fourth generation cherry grower Kyle Mathison, also known as the “Cherry King.” These Moon Cherries, as we like to call them, are grown at elevations of 2600 feet above sea level and higher, or literally a half-mile closer towards the moon. These high-altitude cherries bloom later and ripen later and are the best place for premium dark-sweet cherry varieties like Skeena, Staccato® and Sentennial™ to grow in the late summer.

Kyle believes that the moon’s gravitational pull gives the tree’s roots an extra boost of nutrients, which ultimately leads to the cherries getting extra sugars and complex flavors. Because of this belief and Kyle’s unique harvesting practices, we created National Chant at the Moon Day to celebrate these wonderful summer treats.

What’s so special about these Moon Cherries and why did they deserve a holiday?

We created National Chant at the Moon Day because our Moon Cherries are that good! No one grows cherries quite like Kyle Mathison grows cherries and you can tell when you take a bite of one of his Moon Cherries. They have a juicy, crunchy bite with an explosion of flavor that is hard to replicate. When you bite into a Moon Cherry, you will know why we think they are World Famous and deserve a special day in their honor!"

Hmmm, I’m thinkin’ that Dave just figured out a way to moon us all without… you know, actually having to do it.

We should consider ourselves mooned!

Almost spit my coffee out!

LMAO!

I have to say it’s real “cheeky” and let the moon beams shine down!

Love the butt cheeks on the the moon.

Nice craters …!

( especially when over Miami )

A Kardashian moon, for sure.

Bluuuuee Mooonnn ..you saw me standin’ aloneeee!!!!

When the moon moons ya, moon it back.

I think the guy up front sitting down is an exhibitionist.

The Dark Side is calling now nothing is real…

this one’s a howler… ☺

“Listen with awe and you’ll hear him bark at the moon…”
