Purring Moon

The second full moon of a month is called a blue moon; the second new moon is the "femine moon".
The last two days, the city has been filled with the rumble of Harleys, here for the 105th anniversary gathering. Some of the neighborhoods, remembering the 100th, complained about the very loud engine-revving, and the police promised to ticket people who were doing so, so the motorcycles have been rumbling along contentedly. It's left me feeling oddly happy, like there's a party going on around me, and I realized part of that is with the drivers being careful not to rev up the engines, it sounds, to me, like the city is purring.
