Bill Steffen Here's the latest on the Blue Moon - the Lunar Eclipse and as a bonus - a little Detroit Lions joke: http://blogs.woodtv.com/2009/12/29/blue-moon-and-eclipse/

We have a full moon on New Year’s Eve. The 2nd full moon in a given month is called a “Blue Moon”. We had a full moon on Dec. 2. A “blue moon” isn’t any bluer in ...
