                  Did you know that the white and red stripes on a windsock are not for decoration?

                  They actually indicate precise wind speeds.

                  Here's how.

                              28 x 13 = 364. What do you do with the extra day (plus of course the leap year day)?

                              Though it does seem as though the months are kind of messed up.

                                  Andre the Giant (on the right) had acromegaly.

                                  He, like Rachmaninoff, had big hands.

                                      My in ground fig tree is giving one last heroic effort to ripen all of its fruits. Once they start turning purple, it’s just a few days. Almost the whole tree full just started turning purple.

                                      304F9FA3-F7FD-4DC5-9DF2-6C931A94F16A.jpeg

                                      I’ve gotten about 20 figs from this tree over the summer. Now I’ll get 50 in the next week. Hopefully. If you charted figs vs time, it would look like the climate change hockey stick - not a pleasant thought, what with humanity’s fast approaching extinction due to climate change.

                                      My other trees in pots were unproductive this year, stunted and immature. Much like Palestinians. Not a pleasant thought, what with humanity’s fast approaching extinction due to them.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                          “The idea is simple. Each month has four, seven-day weeks, making a total of 28 days. There are 13 months in a year, totaling 364 days, with a new month in between June and July called “Sol” to mark the summer solstice. The leftover day is a special Year Day, with two such days every four years”
