WEATHER: Clouds are rolling in, and temperatures are soaring!
EVENTS: With the next full moon nearly a week away (July 7th), it's only expected for preparations to be making a comeback in the news. The third full moon since the Light of May, people are commenting on how surprising it is that the global preparations are actually starting to feel
routine. While last month helpful aids were advertised via the newspaper and fliers, starting today local commercials are actually airing on TV with lists of where bitten weres can go to safely lock themselves up for the night. The number one location is, of course, Scarlet Oak and Ann Arbor's local jails. Cell blocks will be kept empty on the night of the full moon for bitten weres to voluntarily lock themselves up, with born were officers on-hand in case the bitten weres need any sort of aid during the full moon.
Also in the news is the current hot topic of debate – Michigan lawmakers are pushing to make it required that bitten weres lock themselves up on the night of the full moon. Those that run rampant would be subject to fines or jailtime, depending on what they do while not in control of themselves. A small group of people argue that the theory doesn't hold water – only a small few of bitten weres who cause damage on the night of the full moon are actually
caught, but the hope is that it would persuade more bitten weres to do the responsible thing –
if the law passes.
