Today is 6th Septemia, 13AS...a Eponaday

"Eponaday is The First Day. Epona is a very ancient Celtic Goddess of Horses. She is chosen because The Horse is central to Amazon Culture. She starts off the week with the symbolic 'getting back in the saddle'."

"Let us look at the structure of the week itself. The First, Second and Third Days are the 'official' Work Week for business, school, etc. On the Weekend, the Fourth Day is half and half; morning and early afternoon for finishing up the Work Week and the late afternoon and evening for playing and partying. The Fifth Day is not a religious holiday per se, but rather meant to be a day of relaxation and reflection."

Life in The Desert

~It is presently 102° and 14% humidity...at a quarter after eleven. At the least the humidity has been coming down.

Life in The Desert Redux

~It is presently 109° and 9% humidity. That the latter is in the single digits allows the swamp cooler to do its job, more or less. Let us hope this is the trend for this heat wave.
