OMG, It's The Vernal Equinox, What Are We Going To Do About This???

...or, the autumnal equinox if you are antipodeally inclined...
So many holidays in March, all stacking up on us...pi (3.14) or pie day March 14, and just on its heels the Ides of March, then St. Patrick and now an equinox...how are you holding up, with all "the darling buds of May" coming down fast upon us now?

    I don't believe there is anything you can do about it.

    I think I'll just have a beer and wait for the hummingbirds to arrive.

  • Oh that truly sounds like a superb plan...love hummingbirds...I may come by with my glass of Bombay Sapphire gin and we can contemplate the existence (or not) of Dark Matter!

  • Just means I have to run the pool sweep and clean the filters and add water conditioner. Just more work to do. But it will be swimming weather soon also. Nothing we can do about it but go with the flow!

    I don't set ours up until late May. A pain in the ass since I rarely go in it...only the wife and my sister-in-law.

  • I'm fresh out of ideas. Had you mentioned the winter solstice instead I might have been more forthcoming.

    My friend was a programmer/analyst for Qantas and every year on the winter solstice the entire section had a short lunch. It was short only by occurring in celebration of the equinox and continued until the last drunk had left. After the celebration, my friend always went to sleep on the train on the way home and one year he slept so soundly that he missed his station and was carried far into the mountains.

    The following year he was presented with a beautifully crafted sign to hang around his neck for the trip home. It read, "Please wake me gently at Blaxland."

  • Dozy that is perfect! 
    Those folks take their equinox/solstice responsibilities seriously...this is important information!

  • I suppose the retort on that, aimed at all our Muggers, would be, "Go and do thou likewise."

  • Oh, absolutely, this is an informational site!
    Just today, I learned about Cheerwine...it is a red soda pop, made in North Carolina since 1917...so live long and prosper, life has meaning and all that!
