Aye Digress. A guy on a Bulletin Board (that I actually met) in '92. Still one of the top 10 'online names' in my book. Stands the test of time as it were.

Do I commence my rant about BS news here? USA Today called today's full moon 'the blue moon' complete with the song from the Marcels. Which was the only redeeming social value to the post.

Blue Moon is a construct based on the difference between Solar and Lunar calendars. It is the second full moon in a calendar month. Popularity of it comes from the folk saying 'once in a blue moon'.

This article claims that the blue moon is actually based on seasons and this is the fourth full moon in Spring 2019. It makes as much sense as the other one, I guess.

When did we get to the point where every full moon has a name? And why is it important? Many cultures (particularly lunar calendar cultures) have a name for each moon. It's a way of keeping track of the passage of time without a paper calendar. No more, no less. Why not call it 'May Moon'? And why use the Marcel's version rather than Billy Holiday's original? Who determines what makes a link clickable? UUuurrgghhh.

So. I understand your aggravation. The one thing that does concern me a bit is the wobbling of the earth's axis. Not concern as in 'are we going to drift away' but more like consequences there of. Like that Polaris isn't always the 'North Star'. And that wobble moves magnetic North around just a little which can have huge consequences with GPS systems. It's all really long cycle stuff (10-50,000 years) so I'm not loosing any sleep over it.

Aye Digress. Often. Thanks for providing more insight on 'current news items'-I really do appreciate it.
