it still could be so... fires, volcanoes, atmospheric pollution through
natural disasters have a way of colouring sunsets to magnificent colours
for sometimes years afterwards.  it could even follow that it has taken
this long for the smoke and ash to rise to a certain level in the
atmosphere and travel.  i'd never thought about it possibly affecting a
moonrise, though. that and the fires are pretty large by now, and there
had been some in russia earlier this summer as well as volcanic activites
in the islands.

hm. who knows.
