Ugh - my mother's having a retirement party in September. Yay - finally. But getting Maddy and I there sucks. Airfare to Reno - cheapest is $400 for both of us. Rental car - get this - cheapest I can find is hotwire for $128.61 for the weekend. Directly the rental car places are asking $78/day economy. Plus parking here in San Diego is another $35. Plus gas for the rental. Ugh. All for an hour or so party.

It's all this or a 10 plus hour drive each way. Actually longer going up because we can't leave until after Maddy's out of school on Friday which means super sucky traffic all the way up the 15 until you get to 395 pratically.

I'm going of course, already bought the tickets, just lamenting how much it sucks to come from BFE. And why is Reno always so flipin expensive? Oh and there are maybe two non-stops a day the rest are all connections as well. Joy Joy Joy.

Full moon was actually on Tuesday the 28th.

Not that I follow these kinds of things

Studies show that more than half of all murders and car accidents happen within a week of a full moon. This is such a well studied phenomenon that hospitals staff emergency room accordingly.

I've heard that from multiple sources. There is definitely something about a full moon. But something else is going on. This has been going on since at least the 23rd.

Flights were only slightly cheaper (like $20 each) and the only times avaliable with the chaper flights were late arrival Friday early departure Sunday. And it's about a 4 plus hour drive to Sac. So ugh.

Well let's see:

"Within a week" is reasonably interpreted as including one week before and one week after the full moon. This is a two week time span. Full moons are just over four weeks apart. The two week time span around the full moon would represent about 1/2 of the time (actually, just under) in a lunar cycle, so it sounds about right

A dog came to my work today. I love it when that happens. (I got nothing done, but there was a dog at my work!)
