New Moon ...

Whistle

If anyone’s interested, the time of the new moon will be around 5:50 AM, (give or take maybe five to ten minutes) EST (5 zones west of Greenwich) Saturday, February 1.

Best wishes,
Jerry

P.S. I’m not knowlegeable about the Chinese calendar. Would that be the exact beginning of the Chinese New Year?

I don’t know about the ‘exactness’ factor but you’ve got the day exactly right Jerry. The coming year is the Year of the Goat. Let’s try to remember that every time the full moon comes around. :slight_smile:

Thanks, Wombat.

Can anyone tell me what, if anything, the Year of the Goat signifies?

Best wishes,
Jerry

Ram, sheep, goat, are all used somewhat interchangeably.

Year of the Metal Goat.

Creativity, expression, patience… all with metal.

But I’m no goat, so I decide 2003 will be WoodWhOA…

I would say a '64 or a '65 Pontiac GTO would qualify as a classic!

(If you got that one, that qualifies you as a car buff.)
