           A Friday after a successful payroll run means an easy day. It says here I put $188.50 in the bank. I took the evening off and went to the research section of library in Hialeah. Like Canada, the library research section is where you go when you want to be all by yourself. That's where I learned more about the Messerschmidt 262, Germany's late-war jet fighter. That's your trivia for today. Each flight required 640 gallons of fuel. I could not find comparable data for other aircraft. The greatest number of 262's ever flown in one day was 59. (On the same day, the Allies flew 840 fighters.)
           And the term "blue moon" is not ancient. It was coined in 1946. Tonight is a blue moon.
