I’m with you, B41, but I just don’t fight it anymore, I just smile.

I suppose arguments could be made about all facets of the meaning of flipping from ‘x9 to ‘x0 on the widely accepted Julian calender of the dominant Western culture on our planet, but from an absolutely mathematical standpoint, I feel the capital “D” Decade of Western culture ends at the arbitrary and artificial “time” of 2400 hrs., 12/31/x0.

I also recognize that those who hold a similar position are in the minority.

I just celebrate twice.

Discussions on the measurement of time are amusingly puzzling.
