Every once in a while I notice a crapload of dead animals on the road. Skunks, rabbits, possums, groundhogs, raccoons and the like. It seems to come in waves. It happened a few weeks ago and I noticed it had recently been a full moon. This last burst of bloated, stinky road bombs? Right after a full moon. Anyone out there ever notice the same calendar of death? Is it a legit, scientific thing? I'm not being superstitious or anything. I'm seriously wondering if there's something that makes the little creatures get out and about, wandering into a destiny of splattitude.
Seriously, let me know if you know. If you think I'm crazy, let me know that, too.
Get out there.
Full moon makes it easier for them to get around in the dark, go farther, and roadways would be even more bright being out from under trees and reflecting that brigt as day moonlight. Pavement holds heat at night too. Very attractive to critters.
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of it, seems like the moon phase also causes golfers to get a little reckless in those golf buggies they ride around in.
ReplyDeleteHa! I have seen a golf ball bounce in front of me one time. I'm constantly on the lookout now! Them golfers be aggressive!
DeleteChris' comment makes good sense. Never considered that.
ReplyDeleteMy wife, a nurse, says that without a doubt the full-moonn phase means a crazy night in emergency at the hospital. So much so that many staff will try to book that evening away.
Interesting.
I occasionally see a werewolf out, too. But he's on a golf cart on the golf course.
