True. My thinking was that if there's a date-code that wasn't
supported by SDT, that you take the SDT result and pass it to os.date
for one more shot. Bad idea? I figured it wouldn't HURT anything, but
yeah, looks weird.
An easier thing to do would be to have a box with weather items, and
another box with date items next to it.
[weather info box] [date info box]
