Where I was, the sun was pale blue all day and the moon (about full) a rich, deep blue. People looked sick by sunlight. Apparently in other places in England, Northern France and Germany, and Denmark, the colours were different, ranging from deep red through green. It was attributed to high-level dust from forest fires in Western Canada. Yes, Virginia, "Once in a Blue Moon" doesn't mean "never". -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt
