New moon or cool rainy weather?

[o&itw]

Been driving around the area all morning as part of my work. One usually runs into a few crazy drivers during the day, but it was nuts this morning, about every third driver was doing something silly. Left turns from the right lane, going down the interstate acces ramp at 35 mph, swerving between lanes in traffic with no turn signal, driving 40 in a 65 talking on a cell, angry drivers all over the place...... I was happy to get back to the office alive.

So... I got to thinking, is it a full moon? It is hard to know here in Central Missouri. I has been cloudy and cool for about 3 weeks, I haven't seen the sun more than once or twice, and I haven't seen the moon at all. I checked on-line and, sure enough it's a full moon. Still, 3 weeks of rain with lows in the 50's and 60's and highs below 80 are pretty weird here during a time it is often over 100. Great for gardens and crops (already planted) but not so good for hay. The last time one could get a crop of hay in here was the week before memorial day.

Has anybody elsed noticed (an excess) of crazy drivers today?

Nope, after 29 years in Dallas I quit noticing lousy drivers.

Never have figured out why they have traffic reports in Springfield, all they usually report is a broken radiator hose at an intersection slowing traffic down. In Dallas they gave body counts.

Yep - Full Moon madness is upon us. Tomorrow, Friday 13th, is Full Moon in Sagittarius the centaur (which means people going nuts behind the wheel because they feel like they're in a horse & buggy race ) - so yes you're probably observing crazy drivers for Thursday, Friday and Saturday - Friday 13th being a double whammy because of people who are triskaphobics.

If that "left turns from the right lane" was a white F-150...sorry buddy. I spilt my McD coffee in my lap and it made me to a little crazy dance.

@paumon, that's good to know. I like a good, forward-thinking centaur.

Uh, I forgot to mention a couple of drivers that went though stop signs doing about 20...

@ AA, There's some lawyers up here who would love to represent you! Was there a warning on the cup that hot coffee might burn your bits? One just can't trust these fast-food restaurants to stick with lukewarm coffee served in kidde-mugs.
