Moon Magic

Full moon. It's really making itself known this month.

Evident by my drive to work yesterday morning.

Actually most of my day was a bit "off", as it were.

But that, that's a whole 'nother post in itself.

Instead let's talk about that drive, shall we?

Leaving THE valley it was a bright cold (27 degrees) morning. We've still got some color in the trees, you know that final golden color that announces the end of fall. Anyway, it was a beautiful morning for a drive. Even if that drive is to work.

I get on to I90 heading east and, just past the first toll booth things start to slow down. Up ahead I see a sherriff and two guys that look like they are part of a road crew. They are standing in the median between the highway. As I pull up even with them, the sherriff brings a shotgun up to his shoulder and about that time I noticed one honkin' big doe. As I look out my drivers window he pulls the trigger. Bam. All gone, night night doe. I wanted to roll down the window and request the backstraps but thought that might not be a great idea.

Anyway - a bit further down the road? Accident. Big accident. 4 cars.

Slow, crawlin' slow traffic. Luckily it was still beautiful countryside so I didn't mind it so much.

Get back up to full speed for a few miles when - yep, you guessed it. Another accident. Slow down, down to one lane and creep along.

Get back up to full speed and - yep. ANOTHER accident.

Let me just cut to the chase. A total of 6 accidents by the time I pulled into the parking lot of work. On a beautiful clear day. No snow. No rain. No ice. Just flat out stupid careless people.

I couldn't get home fast enough. The drive home last nite? 2 more accidents and more than a couple of close calls that I observed.

Yeah, other than heading to Richmond's today to see Oddy, her boy, Harvey and TNT - my ass is stayin' home this weekend. This moon stuff has me spooked.
