July 23rd is the 204th day of the year. As mentioned yesterday, tonight is the full moon. July’s full moon is known as the Buck Moon indicating that we have reached the time of year for new antlers to start growing on the heads of bucks. I guess I knew they shed them, but truthfully, that bit of trivia was lost to me. It is really kind of an amazing process. I feel like I should start cultivating some sort of physical transformation for the changing season too. I guess I could stop cutting my hair and shaving my legs, but it won’t be nearly as impressive. Maybe if I also stop cutting my nails. That should make for an interesting Thanksgiving.

Speaking of unruly tangles, I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t also tell you that today Slash turns 56. Put November Rain on repeat, and wave around your lighters.
