Fun Fact: The moon controls the tide.




The gravitational pull between the moon and the earth cause a "bulge" of water on the side of the earth facing the moon and the side opposite.  The bulge or build-up of water moves as the moon orbits the earth approximately once per day.  This cases approximately two bulges (high tide/low tide) per day.


I learned this fact from you at Panama City Beach in 2009.  Somehow I never learned this until I was 22.  Thanks for that.  <3 Sizzle xx


Happy birthday, my friend!
