Full Harvest Moon: September 16, 2016

   
   "Full Harvest Moon:  September 16, 2016"
   
   The Full Harvest Moon is the most brilliant reflection of the Moon mirroring the Sun (it can be argued); plus, closest to the autmnal equinox.  This large-seeming glimpse of nighttime Luna offered illumination to farmers in the old days, giving them the light necessary to reap the rewards of their crops; thus, it is truly harvest time.
   Maybe appearing a bit orange, which signifies abundance and prosperity--heck, it's gotta be true, for an approximate week before the Full Harvest Moon waxes to completion, the Big Orange will take to Terra's turf and engage Virginia Tech in a grindhouse game, where the Bristol Motor Speedway has purchased a super-plethora of beer for the myriads in attendance.  And is not beer John Barleycorn resurrected in every glass, bottle, or cup?  Don't drink it through a straw dudes.
   Too, armed with such effulgent luminosity, the Full Harvest Moon gives werewolves a little extra burst of mystical power.  Supposedly, they can run near 70 miles-per-hour during such a dazzling ignition of Luna; therefore, if you're being chased by a Lycanthrope in your car, you may want to crank it up to eighty, hoping you have an 8 Cylinder, or a turbo-charged 6 or 4 cylinder.
