But that's only because I'm going the wrong way across the international dateline. \:\)

From September 13th to October 13th I will be out of town/state/country/continent & be in lands down under: Australia & New Zealand. It's me, my parents & who ever else is in our tour group traipsing across the country continent & their closest neighbor. So if in about 2 weeks you notice I've haven't said anything about what is happening on the board during that period It's not because I'm ignoring you, It's because I'm doing other things!

I'll try to get out the end of my Forest week story before I go.

(On my trip back I don't gain a day. I just arrive back home earlier on the same day).

Popular history would have it that when the Pope ordained the change from the Gregorian to the Julian calender to introduce leap years and correct the seasonal slippage caused by having a 365 day year every year, which meant jumping 12 days ahead (from 2nd to 14th September 1752) to get things straight again, there were riots amongst the peasants who believed they'd been robbed of 12 days of their lives. The theory was that the Recording Angel has the date of their death written in his book and by jumping the calendar forward there'd been an absolute loss of days from their alloted spans.

I keep meaning to write a story featuring those people who were recorded to die or be born on, say, 11th September 1752, and who were erased from existence or granted eternal life by the pope's calendar change.
