K, i change my vote--he's still overthinking the plumbing.
Here's the thing--I heard this proposal 4 years ago--a new calendar and it works
like this
All months would have 28 days--exactly 4 weeks per month
Add a month for 13 months
And what you get is that all days of all months fall on the same day--
Sunday is always the 1st, 8, 15, 22,
Monday is always the 2nd, 9, 16, 23,
Tuesday is always the 3rd, 10, 17, 24
etc...
That gives us 364 days.
And one day a year would be 'Sol' day--a day off--probably after Dec 28 and
before Jan 1.
And every 4 years would have 2 'Sol' days (accounting for the leap year)--the
second 'sol' day could be wherever in the calendar
Keep it simple, smartguy.
