    Note that the next week will be the year of the Ox for the Chinese New Year. The Chinese calendar has been in continuous use for centuries. It predates the International Calendar (based on the Gregorian Calendar) in use at the present, which goes back only some 430 years. Basically, a calendar is a system we use to measures the passage of time, from short durations of minutes and hours, to intervals of time measured in days, months, years and centuries. These are fundamentally based on the astronomical observations of the movement of the Sun, Moon and stars.
    Days are measured by the duration of time of one self rotation of the earth. Months are measured by the duration of time of rotation of the moon around the earth. Years are measured by the duration of time it takes for the earth to rotate around the Sun. 
    Perhaps there will be someone who will help us learn more on the 18th so we can share in spirit the New Year again.

By the way, we can also invite some of our neighborrs who are homeless if we just plan to bring an extra large portion of food. Many of the homeless would easily pass as homeowners with their courtesy and manners and dress.

 

What do you think?

That would be a cool idea in these times to make a change to something better for all of us. I will bring a double portion for 10 or so hungry people
