Speaking of my 28/293 calendar, this month is the last in a series of
rectangular months because next month contains a special day. There won't be
another rectangular month until 7 more special days.

I define a rectangular month as a month where day 0 is on Sunday and the
last day of the month is on Saturday. Weeks are arranged Sunday through
Saturday as is the custom here in America.

The next special day is on -4-0-19, 09 Jan 2009 Gregorian. This is three
days after the troll in my yard solves a puzzle.

This isn't relevant to anything, but I find it interesting nonetheless. The
day number of the special day contains the same digits as the month and day
in the Gregorian calendar. Furthermore, the special day occurs on day 9 of
the Gregorian calendar and 9 days from the end of the month in the 28/293
calendar (the accumulator of the month is 9).
