That's okay, I'll let FCTush go first. Checked w/ the US Navy Astro Lab - new moon on 05/16. Probably not a good thing, since all God's furry little creatures seem to come out when there's a new moon.
One good thing about interstates though, you let a semi go about a quarter-mile ahead, and wait for the "pink cloud..."
But seriously, thanks for the warning. May reconsider take-off time to something earlier. Mike's an early riser, and my wife predicts I'll be like a kid at Christmas, and won't sleep much, anyway.
Mike - got yer ears on?
