Ah. Full moon tonight. No wonder things are getting weird around here.

It amazes me that some people still think a full moon is some sort of power or omen. Reminds me of superstition in older cultures.

But ya it was full yesterday too. I went for a walk early in the morning before the sun came up and I was like "wow that is bright".

Here's an NIH study which showed the crime rate goes up during a full moon:

Abstract​

The incidence of crimes reported to three police stations in different towns (one rural, one urban, one industrial) was studied to see if it varied with the day of the lunar cycle. The period of the study covered 1978-82. The incidence of crimes committed on full moon days was much higher than on all other days, new moon days, and seventh days after the full moon and new moon. A small peak in the incidence of crimes was observed on new moon days, but this was not significant when compared with crimes committed on other days.

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed at that. Thanks for the info. I thought you were just making a joke.

Just saying hello guys. Going to sign off very soon.

I broke a molar last Sunday. Thank God no pain. Have a dental appointment on Tuesday.

It's a new dentist. He is on the corner of our street...our apartment building is behind his office building. So that will be great....no taxis to and from the old dentist.

I was with my old dental practice since 1968. Two of my dentists died. Then another dentist took over. But I think he was overcharging me...and he always wanted to do a lot of bonding since my gums are somewhat recessed.

I never wanted the bondings....at 73 I think recessed gums are somewhat expected! And my teeth feel sturdy enough.

Hey @Lambano check this out:

"GREATER POLICE ACTIVITY INVOLVING BREAKING AND ENTERING DURING THE FULL MOON SUGGESTS THAT BRIGHT LIGHT MAY ACT AS A DETERRENT FOR MOST FORMS OF CRIME, BUT THAT DIM (MOON-) LIGHT MAY ENCOURAGE SOME KINDS OF CRIME." POLICE ACTIVITY AND THE FULL MOON | Office of Justice Programs

In light of the facts I decided to investigate

Makes sense that B&E (and burglary) would be facilitated by a full moon.

I broke a molar last Sunday.

That's no fun. When I busted an incisor as a kid, my dentist put a sticky gum-like substance over the tooth to keep food particles and stuff out of there until they could put a ceramic cap over it. Did your dentist do this?

Sorry to hear about your tooth. Hope they can fix that soon.

I see the new dentist on Tuesday.

The molar has a large, old filling in it so it might not be able to be capped...not much tooth remaining. I don't want an implant so it might have to be pulled.

It's 3am and it is snowing and it stuck to the roads. Wow, late February and it snowed. Odd weather these days. Drinking some coffee and working on my project.
