TIME FLIES!

                     TIME FLIES!

     Thet are expressions we use and hear

all the time. "Where did the time go? Time

really seems to fly by." And "The older we

get the quicker time seems to go by." But

if you think time is flying by now you should

have been around on this day in 1752! That

is the day Britian and all of its colonies,

including what is now the United States,

switched from the Julian to the Gregorian

calendar! When that change was made they

simply eliminated 11 days! So people literally

went from Wednesday, September 2nd to

Thursday, September 14th!!! The change

sparked riots in some places where people

complained the government had stolen 11

days of their life. As a senior citizen I tend

to agree. I may need those extra 11 days

sometime so I'm hoping I'll have access to

them when my time comes! Hope you're

well, have 11 days coming to you, and that

all your NEWS is good!
