Uhhhh....  I have no idea how to interpret that???  Surely the moon 
doesn't set at 3:22 in the afternoon??? >>

Yes, because the moon rises/sets about an hour later than on the previous 
day, and this just carries on.. and on...
So your moon will be a few hours in frtont of the sun; it will be somewhere 
near the south-east a bit before sunrise and will be well up in the morning 
(you might see it then) and will set at 3:22 pm, by which time it will be way 
too bright in the sky to see it! ;-)

I like that nice surprsise I get when I spot the moon in the daytime sky 
because somehow I don't expect to see it there.
