Bein' the friggin' simpleton I am, I just wanna know if anyone can tell me if there's been a 'Blue Moon' (other than the Coors Beer version) that started in one decade and ended in another?

No. It's what you're in, not what you're done with. You're in the 1st day until it's completed. Day 2 would be day 1 plus any fraction thereof. Same holds true for any period of time. We are now in the 21st century because 20 have already been completed. In other words, we're "working on" the 21st century, as we've finished with the 20th. We'll be in the 21st until it's completed. Same with decades. We've completed the 200th decade, and now we're working on the 201st. As far as this century, we're in the 21st because we're at 20 centuries plus about 1/10th of the 21st. That's 20 plus .10, or 2010.
If you're a half-year old, it doesn't mean you're "0". You were 0 at birth, and now you're working on 1. So, you're in your 1st year. Working on it, but in it. Still, if you were to put it into fractions, you would be 0.5. But that doesn't make you 0.
This is getting silly. Disregard all the above. Tell me...at what age did you reach your twenties---20 or 21? And what decade of life were your twenties for you---your second or third?

See? You do agree with me. The very first day of the first year is still considered to be in the first year. Hence there could be no year "0", hence (with 10 years in a decade) a decade is always going to be the years ending 01-10. The day I turned 20 started my 21st year in life, and began my third decade.
Thank you for conceding.
Pa- As no one is in disagreement of the "definition" of a blue moon (two full moons in one month) there would be no way for a "blue moon" to span multiple year or decades. But you knew that.

Wow. I already conceded when I said you can look at it any way you wish. You can look at this year as 2525 if you want. And by all means...go out and celebrate New Year's Eve on the evening of Jan 1st, if you want. At least there won't be many other drunks on the road.

As I would never drive a car after drinking, I'm not someone you would need to worry about on the road. Mostly I drink at home because its safer and cheaper. Sometimes I party at some of my friends' houses, and they are mostly within walking distance.
