    Take the last knuckle and valley, assume they are days instead of months, add them together, then subtract the value on February from the usual valley value besides February.

    … Yeah, you better remember the quirk of February without mnemonics or your knuckles.

    I miss my dad. And your dad.

    There’s a much easier way to remember. Ball your two hands into fists in front of you and put them together so that you have your knuckles on top, sans thumbs. Start counting from left, knuckles are hills, the gap between them are valleys. Months falling on valleys are shorter. Months falling on hills are always 31 days.

    • January is on a hill.
    • February falls on a valley.
    • March is hill.
    • April is in a valley.
    • May is on hill.
    • June is valley.
    • July is on a hill.
    • August is on a hill too!
    • September is in a valley.
    • October is hill.
    • November, valley.
    • December ends on a hill.

    You have a valley and a knuckle left.








  • We are more than mere frogs in a pot though. We have made note of this. We outraged. We argued and counter argued. We will not forget so easily, no matter the view point on it.

    If nothing comes of it, some of us can say “I’ve told you…”

    If the next step gets implemented and the field becomes mandatory, some of us can say “See!! Froggies”

    If it becomes mandatory and a further implementation also adds the framework to submit the data to some idp service, then we can get the pitchforks out.
