Full Beaver Moon!! Hot!! Check it out!!!
Hey, I didn't name it. Blame those randy sods, the Puritans.

Tonight is indeed a Full Beaver Moon according to the Farmers Almanac.

• Full Beaver Moon - November This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter. It is sometimes also referred to as the Frosty Moon.


So if you wake up tomorrow without having caught some beaver, it's your own fault.

3. Jesus, I'm surprised the Old Farmer's Almanac doesn't feature a centerfold.
I guess all the planting does something to a fellow.

5. "Blame the Puritans"? More like Thank the Native Americans!
;)

They named the moons in the North East....

The 'Puritans' and their heirs followed the lead.

Carry on...
