Different calendars give different significances to various days and dates.<\/p>\n
For example, by one way of reckoning, today be Talk Like a Pirate Day<\/a>. (Arr!) Time flies; doesn't seem like a year since last time.<\/p>\n Another way of looking at this time of year is that Wednesday, September 22, at 16:29:53 p.m. UTC, will be the autumnal equinox here in the northern hemisphere. (The Stellafane Equinox and Solstice Calculator<\/a> is useful for this kind of thing, except that there's a timezone-related bug in it if you're using Safari.) I had already concluded that fall had begun, though, because I was cold last night under my thin comforter, and the heater turned on this morning for the first time in months.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, last week was Rosh Hashanah<\/a> (L'Shana Tova!), and Yom Kippur<\/a> will begin at sundown this coming Friday, September 24. (Those wikipedia pages could probably use a bit of cleaning up; any of y'all who know something about the High Holy Days and are so inclined might do a little editing there. If nothing else, you could make the capitalization of the transliteration of Hashanah more consistent.) Alas, we at SH<\/cite> have no stories related to the High Holy Days that we could publish at this time of year, but we keep hoping. Next year on the web!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Different calendars give different significances to various days and dates.
