Good afternoon all,
Frank King noted that
A good many people don't know the day's date without
checking but most know the day of the week. It would
be odd to have the date changing at one time and the
day at another.
If you need to check days of weeks for arcane dates, JoneSoft Date
Calculator is a free program that will give you the day of the week for just
about any date, and the number of days between two specific dates.

I've used an earlier version for several years, and for the odd occasion
when I needed to know days for certain dates, or numbers of months between
my sample observations during research, it was very quick. I'm sure that
there are other similar programs around.
The "review" at the site claims that the program can also calculate the
number of hours between specified dates / times, but I can't see how to do
this in the current version I have just downloaded. Just be careful when
downloading as the site (Softonic) wants to install its own useless toolbar
to further clutter up your browser.
PS to Frank: oddly enough, since I semi-retired, I frequently have look at
my computer to find out both the date and the day of the week. When your
time is your own, certain conventions become a lot less important!
Cheers, John
