It's the spring equinox today, which I thought meant that the day and night were equal. But now I read Wikipedia's article on the subject and discover that this isn't quite so.
Everything in life is more complicated than pure theory suggests.
Even astronomy!
Still, the spring equinox means something, and it's something to makr on the calendar.
Actually, according to my preferred system, we would abolish months from the calendar, divide the year into quarters of 91 days each, and once at the end of the year celebrate an extra day, a day not part of any week (thus getting no designation such as Tuesday or Wednesday) and call it Year's Day. This kind of calendar would make oh so much more sense.
But that's another matter. Today's the spring equinox. The days begin their triumph over night, starting today.
