    Since it is now 12:17 a.m. NDT (0247 UTC/GMT) May 4,
    Happy Star Wars Day!

    I’m still fumbling along on the thread
    “Full moon closest to Beltane”
    on alt.religion.druid, for any who notice effects.

    Oops, I forgot to update the time above slightly
    (by 7 minutes) after I copy/pasted.

    It is a also Anti-Bullying Day, which is appropriate
    since I hope to reduce bullying on a global scale.

    Note that that full moon happens to fall on Vesak.

    However that dismays me a bit, since I didn’t expect any
    correlation of my success with an existing religious
    festival, so I expect I will fail again in my latest
    Sisyphean moon rock rolling.

    The evening of May 4 to the evening of May 5
    is also Pesach Sheni, or Second Passover, which is for
    those who are ritually impure due to contact with a dead body,
    or who have been on a “distant journey” (e.g. a Wild Rover).

    "One theme commonly expressed for this holiday is second chances."
