No, but she should have at least made sure the day before wasn't also
a Monday. (yes, i know, that's one of the few that actually got fixed
in reprints, but it's still an example of just how careless she can be
about these things) Similarly, I don't care if the full moons line up
with 1993-94, but it'd be nice if they were at about the same day each
month (actual full moons are at an interval of 29.5 days). In other
words, I don't care if there was a full moon or not on halloween of
1993, but you can't have one then and on christmas.
