After being so very late to the meridian around February 10, the Sun is finally catching up. And so the Equation of Time goes to zero today. Because we are close to a zero in the EqT, I may be a little busy in the next 24 hours and unable to post NavList messages. Hence I'm trying to get in a few tonight... You see, I celebrate ZEqT, this moment when the Apparent Sun catches up with the Mean Sun, by calculating my expenses for the year, deducting them from my revenues, and then transferring a certain fraction of the remainder, if any, to the federal government of the United States and a smaller, token amount to the state government of Illinois. :-> -FER PS: for those outside the USA, in case it's not obvious, this is a little joke about the annual due date for tax filings here. It is ALSO a zero in the Equation of Time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
