Calendars and Time

Spring ahead, Fall back: How you adjust your clocks for Daylight and Standard Time in many places.
30 days hath September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31 (Except for February which has 28, DAMN!) And then there's leap year...: How to remember the number of days in each month. Contributed by callisto@dorsai.org ... thanks!
Also there's a visual way to remember by putting your hands together (after making a fist, and tucking your thumbs under) then starting on your first knuckle and go across your knuckles and the spaces in between, say the months for each knuckle and space: January (knuckle), February (space), March (knuckle), April (space), May (knuckle), June (space), July (knuckle), August (knuckle), September (space), October (knuckle), November (space), December (knuckle). NOTE: July and August are where your two hands are put together! All the months on the knuckle have 31 days; the ones that land on the space have 30--except of course February! This info supplied by Darlene.K.Carlson.2@nd.edu, a veritable fount of information!
JASON: The last 6 months of the year: July, August, September, October, November, December - and the answer to final jeopardy on "JEOPARDY!" a few years back. Thank you to mreed48@cox.net for this interesting mnemonic.
