        Do you boot F8 at 03:00 with  anacron enabled?  If you do Cron
        will run at 04:02 [perhaps] and then about an hour later Anacron
        will run, and both will be logged.  This problem has persisted
        through several Fedora distributions in the default condition.

        There may be something I need to set to stop anacron if cron has
        already run but I have not found it.  As I said it's a very
        minor annoyance, I just thought there might be a fix that others
        were aware of.
