Begging your pardon, but my copy of the 2000 OFA is in front of me and all is correct. The top of page 67 even begins with the heading "February hath 29 days". Does your copy differ, or is this just a circulating legend? -- Peter -----Original Message----- From Kevin Redden [mailto:kredden@INJERSEY.COM] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2000 6:44 PM To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: Re: Latitude from Farmer's Almanac?
