Title: Petty Bitches From an Old Fart...
Post by AusGeoff on Sep 22nd, 2023 at 2:03am


Okay, tomorrow, Saturday 23 September is the true first
day of Spring, or the astronomical first day.  It's not
—as the corporates, the marketers and the spin doctors
tell us that it's 1 September.  It's just an excuse to bring
forward the so-called "Spring Sales!" by three weeks. 
And a gullible public fall for it year after year FFS.

I've also seen advertising for "Pre-Christmas" sales, and
"Get Ready for Summer" sales advertising.  I'm now
awaiting the first hot-cross buns and mince tarts to
appear in my local Woolies LOL.

Here the daylight is:
19 September 11:59:48      hours long.
20 September  12:01:38.
So Spring began at equinox just after midnight on 19/20 early Wednesday.  The calendars are wrong, Earth is wobbling and Hallow'een is yellow pumpkins and skeletons. That's why the Russian spacecraft crashed.
