The moon is an interesting object.

'When Alan Shepard was on the moon he hit a golf ball nearly a half mile.'
'The moon contains 9.4 billion acres.'
 'On the moon there is no wind or water'.
(These moon facts come from the online source moonconnection.com)

We are told the moon controls the ocean tides and is blamed for all sorts of odd human behavior. I have friends in the mental health care profession who swear that some people tend to veer off the deep end or at least into uncharted waters during the full moon phase. It always brings a heightened awareness among those folks.

My wife and I noticed it when we were in the antique business.
We attended auctions on a regular basis and as luck would have it we began to notice purchases we made during a full moon were very often purchases we couldn't explain. 'We bought what??', we would say to each other afterward. 'We paid how much for that?' Followed by this: 'How are we ever gonna get our money back?'

Soon we realized that for our own benefit we would only attend auctions during a full moon as sellers, not buyers. That worked very well because we sat back and let others be the victims of this weird phenomonon. They bought our sometimes useless treasures and paid too much......which helped us recover at least partially from our moon struck purchases. I imagine there's a Wall Street corollary there somewhere but I wouldn't bet serious money on any of it.

The moon. 'When a month has two full moons the second one is known as a 'Blue Moon'.

I told my daughter several years ago on her first tour of duty in Iraq that though we were thousands of miles apart, it was a comfort to me to look up at the night sky and know that she and I were looking at the same big moon. I could throw a kiss at the moon and he could throw it on to her. Silly juvenile stuff but a comfort nonetheless.

The moon has been the subject of countless love songs and horror stories. And love song/horror stories, of unrequited love and murder by moonlight.

And one soul who never made it back from the moon. 
A certain Dr. Shoemaker whose ashes were sent there in 1999 and is the only person who is 'buried' there. The moon could easily be known as Shoemaker's Moon or Shoemakers Graveyard but it's not likely to happen anytime soon.

Lots of literature, fantasy, day dreams, nightmares and history have been centered on the moon.

I'd bet a blue moon against a big, ole, sloppy, barbecue sandwich it'll be that way forever.
