        Hey I just got a great idea for calendar reform.  Lets use a
        364  day  year.  I mean back when 90% of the population were
        farmers it made good sense for the calendar and  solar  year
        to match, but now that only 2% of us are farmers, why do all
        this stupid arithmetic?  So what if it  snows  in  July  120
        years  from  now, the people in the Southern Hemisphere seem
        to be able to put up with it.  This way  we  could  use  the
        same  calendar  every  year.  The astronomers can keep their
	own calendar.  %-)
