Blow-out!

Clearly, yesterday's post only served to antagonize the lunar menace that has been plaguing this little corner of heaven lately.

This morning, as I was barreling down I-4 in rush hour traffic, one of the front tires on ye olde Blazer decided to explode.

Fortunately, yours truly was able to safely exit the interstate and thump-thump-thump to safety.

But, the repair bill remains to be seen.

Ah, well, such is the price one must pay, I suppose, when one tangles with a celestial menace . . .

How long does a full moon last, exactly?!

Yours truly asks that question as he has made our nearest natural satelite the scapegoat for all the odd annoyances that have cropped-up around this little corner of heaven lately.

Ye socks have already been regaled with stories of dead cell phones, failing headlights, etc.

Well, the latest installment in this ongoing melodrama includes the crashing of our internet network at the office and a speedtrap along the route home this afternoon . . .

Suffice it to say that a lot of folks in these parts will be very happy when we move on to the next lunar phase.

Full moon

I don't know what it is about the full moon, but it seems it causes an awful lot of craziness.

The scientists will tell you the gravitational pull from Earth's little orbiter is strongest during a full moon, affecting global tides.

They're somewhat hesitant, however, to claim the lunar tugging has any psycho-social effects.

But, I ask ye socks, how could it not?

I mean, aren't we humans about 98% water?!

Only makes sense to me.

But, maybe, the moon has just made me lose my mind . . . they call that "lunacy," right?!
