Talking of oceans and rough stuff and belonging...
Orcas are intensely xenophobic and form subgroups and subcultures. For instance, some will eat only premium salmon, whilst others will eat any old fish. Premium salmon eaters will starve if their supply runs out rather than stoop to eating what the other subcultures eat. They also vote UKIP.
Apparantly, the Moon is receding away from the Earth at approx. 3.5 Cm a year. In around 600,000 years, the Moon will have receded to a point where it's size will no longer cover the Sun's disc, and there will be no more eclipses,. Something to look forward to. I plan to be there. Just atoms, but I will be there !

The moon is leaving us, it's a little bit tragic isn't it. Glad I won't be around to see it go completely, it's bad enough just to know it's happening. Can you imagine how spectacular she looked eons ago, how enormous and imposing. I would have loved to have seen that. Hmmm maybe I did and I just can't completely remember:)
All we know is that she's centimetering away at the moment. The procession might be part of a larger cycle; or an event could cause her to wobble back a bit.
Eons ago, she was slutting about the Pantheon and committing incest with her brother Coeus.
Just to get those figures in some perspective, 3.5 Cm over 600,000 years is 21,000 metres or 21 kilometres or just over 12 miles.
