[Vision2020] Once in a blue moon

[Joe Campbell]

That is what I thought too but that is not the "technical" definition. In
fact, last night's blue moon was the first and only full moon this month. A
blue moon happens when we get 4 full moons in a season. A blue moon is the
3rd of the 4 full moons in a given season.
