A Lunar Beginning
The new year began with a full Moon on the first of
January, called the Full Wolf Moon tor those hungry
wolves that howl in the snow This week. January
signs off with a second bold illumination, the Full Old
Moon of January 11, which is called a "blue Moon" for
being the second full Moon within a month March
1999 will also have two full Moons (Full Crust and Full
Worm), but February has no full Moon this
year, and the year 2000
won’t have any blue
Moons at all
Two full
Moons in a calendar
month bring on
flood.
icr Steam vaporizers and ultrasonic humidifiers are less
apt than the cool mist variety to spread bacteria.
