10/31.3/01 - Blue Moon. "The blue moon was originally defined by the Maine Farmer's Almanac in 1819 as an extra full moon within any season.

The first full moon this month was Oct. 2." Tip from Drudge; more at www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2001/10/31/MN127465.DTL.

There has been much speculation about a change in direction for the morning show at KABC. Speculation is that it will come sooner rather than later."
