Last weekend’s “super moon” — which involved the full moon phase coinciding with its closest proximity to Earth this year — led to incredible commentary and photography that filled social networking sites.
The phenomena also led to extraordinary catches of bedding beam that filled iceboxes and deep fryers across Mississippi.
