/** Time Magazine claimed that
"the next full moon on Friday the 13th isn’t expected to happen again for
another 30 years—on Aug. 13, 2049"
I've found almost every claim of this sort to be wrong, especially when
time zones are involved. Let's see if it's right. (Hint: it's right
for the continental U.S. but wrong for the "US/Hawaii" timezone.)
(Note that this program is quickly hardcoded to an English-speaking
locale. If your computer's locale outputs Friday as something other than
(Fri) you'll need to change that part of the program.)
