Dear Victor Helios and Calendar People
It reminds me of my Dove Calendar
http://the-light.com/cal/kp_Dove.html
When working out the dates that each Dove began I saw that within a year nine Doves were nearly always one day short of five months.
This was because nine doves have 9*17=153 days and five months not including February have 154 days.

P.S. Googling 153 and Himalayan, I notice some interesting
curiosities, including 153 Himalayan peaks are available to mountain
climbers.
