For anyone interested in the whole "Blue Moon" thing.. here is an excellent explanation of the event and the history and math behind the Blue Moon.

Here is the path from Lake Shore Park..(the light blue line) fingers crossed for a clear sky!
Hummm. looks like it will be rising over Mitt's house from my vantage point! :)
