perspective


Just noticed that the solstice/equinox dates are all around the 20th of the month,
and Aphelion (ap-helion, not afelion) is the 4th of July.
Who made up the dang calendar and the durn English language, anyway?
(What? Nah, prob’ly not the same guy who made the 24hr and 60min/sec things. I know gravity did the 365-1/4day thing, though.)

    Nice to know that SOME things in this world are reliable…
