About me: I am Fred Schneider, born Frederick William Schneider III in Newark, New Jersey. I am a founding member of The B-52s, along with Kate Pierson, Cindy Wilson, Keith Strickland the late Ricky Wilson. We started in 1976, but you can find all that on The B-52s site. I'm a totally exciting person who likes puppies, rainbows, and children (but only if they're really well-behaved. Forget the rest!). My hobbies are: collecting records, dirty jokes, bad sci-fi movies, intellectual pursuits (whatever they are, I mean, serious junk), etc... etc... I love all of you with the sincere love like Charo has for people (who's Charo you ask? Come on people!).

"Mars and a Colorful Lunar Fog Bow"- Taken atop Haleakala, a huge volcano in Hawaii- This very rare photo is actually of a lunar fog bow which is created by moonlight reflected by small water droplets that compose fog. Most fog bows appear white, however in this rare occasion, all the colors are seen. Mars is the bright object in the sky...
