February's final bonus

Thanks Gary...there was a huge uproar centuries ago when Pope Gregory XIII decreed a change in the calendar, which is why we refer to it as gregorian. The reform advanced the date by 10 days:Thursday 4, October 1582 was followed by Friday 15, October 1582. People paying monthly charges were none too happy!!

Very kind sir. I do plan to at some point. I had done that twice about a decade ago, but it may be time to repeat.

Paghunda, I get the images I am using from an AI interface. It reads the poem I write and provides an image. So, some of the image can be gibberish like. But, I do see you are looking at this very closely. What will be interesting is how AI gets better as it ages. I am starting to fear it will replace all of us!

David, these pictures are all generated by AI and we know it has a few problems. Personally, I find it funny. I send my daughter my poetry, and she sends me back an illustration in a few seconds. Thank you for noticing that all that was stuffed into this.

SP, now you are flattering me! I am merely trying to make a compact analysis of a situation. Hard to get inspired all the time though. I might take a break for a few days!!

Vijay, you're most kind as always! It's only a small bonus we get on monthly bills, but perhaps one day, we'll get a bigger break based on society coming to its senses.

Hilda, you're so right it's only a few percent. The poem is a bit inane for sure. I think I knew that when I posted it, and you're right--we'll be glad when winter recedes.
