Nothing of great import here, but since there is always at least a passing
interest in making sundials read clock time, I just recently noticed a
peculiar phenomenon.

There is an old saying that a stopped clock still tells the correct time
twice a day. A sundial without longitude correction will tell clock time on
the day or days that the EOT counterbalances the longitude correction. For
me this occurred on Dec. 2. This can happen from zero to four times a year
depending on how far you are from the prime meridian, daylight savings time,
etc.

Merry Christmas to all.
