I like researching things.

So , Amber posted a picture of the moon. It is called "The Wolf Moon". I told her what I THOUGHT the origin of the name was. Turns out I am wrong. This information was published online by USA Today: "Each full moon of the year has a nickname used by astrologers and publications like the Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac. The January full moon is traditionally called a Wolf Moon. The name "Wolf Moon" is believed to be rooted in indigenous, Celtic or Old English culture. One plausible explanation for the origin of the name is that wolves were more likely to be heard howling during mid-winter, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Wolf Moon will also be a supermoon." So I was sort of right, maybe. I said Native Americans--the article said indigenous (politically correct) gave it the name. I did not think of Celtic or Old English. So I had a good time looking it up. This is also why I like libraries.
