100% Full Moon...appropriate Michigan Moments

The Moon over Michigan, well, our part of Macomb Twp. Michigan, is somewhat cloud-covered.

The impact on the living entities, however is clear & full:

...the neighbor boy-man left the house earlier this afternoon, leaving the garage door open to all. Since this house is on the "T" of our N - S street & the side street, any & all who drive up the side street can see zero cars in drive & door wide & welcoming.    

...2 of our neighbor pups started barking [ they do that a lot, for a variety of reasons], and the chorus started up & down the blocks;  these 2 then had the nerve to carry-on as if they were being challenged.  If our Beagle-Basset was still with us, he would have let the entire 6 block area know who he thought was Boss.  We have zero rational for any type of complaints concerning barking as a result of living with Bruno--so we laugh & go on about our business.

...since this is the last full week before the start of the 2010 - 2011 school year AND full moon, we have seen a parade of kiddos wandering around the streets; some manage to direct themselves to the local 7-11 on 21 Mile road which is only 2-3 blocks away; while one group walked past on the side street, texting, talking, & totally out-of-sorts about vacations end.  They went by 3 times, & the last time just shrugged as if to say  'it seemed to be a good idea at the time...'

...the sound of sirens [ mainly Police ] can be heard on 21 Mile Rd. about 3 blocks away & on Hall Rd. / M - 59 about 1.5 Miles away.  Thankfully, the Fire trucks have NOT been out tonight, which is a good sign.      

...all of us in our immediate area are flush with thanks that the Tornado that touched down 2.3  blocks away on 21 Mile rd did not hit us;  though we received some wind & hail-related effects, none of us had anything serious.

...Sal & I had just returned from the " Hurricane area / Florida" where nothing other than some rain storms happened & our first day back, there were two touch downs of Tornadoes in our immediate area ; and two individual Tornadoes in Macomb County.  go figure.

...as I type this, I can hear more sirens and I am in the basement with no open windows--they are out there and fully experiencing the effects of the Full Moon's pull.  May those fools not impact some other families tonight, not injure our first responders. 

...One final note:  there is a new Band in our area; this band is comprised of 5 experienced musicians, who have decided to join together one more time & form this local band.  They call themselves "Mid Life Crisis"  how great is that!  [more on this band later on this week when the Moon is no longer FULL.
