Maybe this'll help 'splain it...

The VA Tech massacre, the lone gunman holed up in the Houston Space Center, bomb threats in Sacramento, the list goes on and on.

I was readin' The Old Farmer's Almanac, which I do every morning with some regularity, God willing, and I noticed that the 17th was the New Moon.

It's folk wisdom that folks go a little nuts during the Full Moon, but I had this explained to me by a customer once, a Harley-Davidson rider from South America:

"During the Full Moon, people go crazy outward. They dance, get drunk, make love, go a lttle crazy, have fun. During the exactly opposite New Moon they go crazy inward to the darkest depth of their souls. They get depressed, scared. They murder people."

Just sayin'...
