Fellow Shadow Watchers

Current discussions Re.the Equation of Time bring to mind Tad Dunne's 
contribution to the Great Sundial Motto Festival of 1998 - or World War 
III depending on how you remember it  :-)

Hope you don't mind me re-printing you Tad!

"On September One, you can trust the sun
Come Halloween, subtract sixteen.
On Christmas day, the dial's OK
For your Valentine true, add a dozen and two.

Add no more, the mid of month four.
The mid of May, take four away.
On June fourteen, don't add a bean.
When August begins, add seven little mins.

The rest is easy:  For any date
All you do is interpolate."
