Restorer32 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 According to my Official AACA Calendar yesterday was May 20 and so is today! There is no May 21. This year's calendar is certainly better than last year's. Anyone else notice this discrepancy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Hoover Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Maybe it's Mr. Moskowitz's way of saying we had so much fun being off of work yesterday, let's do it again today? Is this club great or what? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hmmmm. What the heck happened to the 21st! Our editor and calender people seem to be reinventing the standard calendar! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I need to find them a calendar school! <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Sorry, we thought we had fail safe methods in making sure there were no more errors. Guess not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Yes. By all means. Take today off! And while you're relaxing, find something to do on December 28th, cuz that day doesn't exist either. The bad news is that the mistakes are there. The good news is that I know how they happened and I will spend some extra time making sure those types of mistakes won't happen for next year.Fortunately, the mistakes only apply for one day each time, and do not run forward into the rest of the calendar. That's my biggest fear, so when proofing, my main focus is that each month starts and ends correctly. I've already gotten a huge start on next year's calendar, so maybe I can get more eyes to look at it before we go to press.Sorry for the mistakes. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 It'll be okay, Jeff. We have not charged you any extra for these days off. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 Actually, why do some months have 28 (or 29) days while others have 30 or 31? Yea, I know the history of the Gregorian calendar but is there any reason other than tradition for this confusion to survive in this day and age? Now if I were King...

West Peterson Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 For that matter, why do we have months at all. Why not just have a year with 365 (or 366) days counted out consecutively??? Or, why not just have 12 months with 28 even days, with one month having 29 (or 30) days. That would mean every month would start and end on the same day (except the last, of course).Now, if I were king, I'd make it a rule that you can't dis the calendar maker. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex98thdrill Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I just figure that those days were listed twice with one of those days being his wife's birthday and the second one being his wedding anniversary. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />That way Steve would have a second chance at not forgetting <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Bookreader Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Good heavens. I thought we bought this AACA Calendar for the photos of the cars. Who cares about days of the week--they come and they go. BUT--- the cars are what is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
