Pardon my singing. Seems thereā€™s a blue moon tonight. Not by color, Iā€™m led to believe it has something to do with how many full moons their are in a certain period of time. Time to raise heck!! ---

I love that song! A blue moon is when there are two full moons in the same month.

I thought to go outside to see if I could see it when it was exact, at 9.36. I couldnā€™t, but there were flashing red lights from fire cars/ambuli. Seems someone took too many mushrooms. ---

Blue Moon is a beautiful song. The best cover of it is by the Cowboy Junkies. Album - The Trinity Session. Margo Timmins has a beautiful voice. My cousin, a vocalist with a trained voice is blown away by her. ---

I agree with every word, @enipla. Well, actually, I donā€™t know your cousin, so I agree with the first paragraph. I briefly met Margo Timmins after a Cowboy Junkies show. I shook her hand and told her how wonderful her voice is and, Iā€™m not lying, she blushed. mmm ---

My wife and I went out driving around 8:15 last night to get a good look. (Too many trees in our neighborhood to see anything.) After trying unsuccessfully to get a decent picture from a moving car, she texted her dad and her kids that they should go out and take a look at the moon coming up. Both her dad and her son replied ā€œWhat direction?ā€ šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø ---
