Once In a Blue Moon

If you didn’t know it already, today was a blue moon.  Not the beer, Blue Moon but an actual, real live blue moon.  A blue moon occurs when there are two full moons in the same month with the second full moon being a blue moon.  Billie Holliday sang about it and so did The Marcels in 1961 which is my favorite version by the way.  The Marcels’ version charted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks and sold over a million copies.  In fact, blue moons are so rare that the next one does not occur until January 2018 and the last one was August 31, 2012.  So, it can be said that once in a blue moon is a really rare event.  So, it got me to thinking of rare events or things that happen once in a blue moon.
