Predicting Weather By The Moon - Xavier University Libraries

Weather By The Moon
I do miss Harry and would love to update him on what
I have uncovered and developed since his passing. This work
will take more than one or two lifetime’s work to finally
unravel, and the job of convincing mainstream science has
not even begun. I know I am not alone in thinking that this
may one day be the meteorology of the future, and has the
ability to save lives and millions of dollars in the agricultural
sector through advance warnings of floods, hailstorms
and freezing spells.
Those are roughly the events leading up to this point. I
fulfilled a dream started 25 years ago, that I might someday
come up with a workable system for foretelling weather.
It is a long way from Opotiki and a long way from those
bus days. My children are now grown and yet my passion
for continuing what I started has not diminished. They are
fond of telling their acquaintenances to be warned - if you
meet Dad on the street and comment on the weather you
may still be there two hours later.
I am now many life-years on from 3, yet when I look
up and see it on any night, I have to say the Moon holds the
same fascination for me. For hundreds and thousands of
years, it has inspired poets, lovers, dreamers and prophets
to watch its many shapes and moods. I hope through this
book it will inspire more.
