Would you know it was your birthday...If no one could agree on what day it was.
When was the last time you charted your birthday soley by reading the planets and stars?
When the lights go out...and they will...you very likely will never know what day is your birthday....or your son's...or mom's...
Now that is depressing.

If I cann't power my Mac to know the year (using the Buddhist Epoch we're at 2551 BE) or if my 10-year battery clock (thinking of changing it to a solar model with thermometer and compass) stops working and no one can sell a replacements... well, I don't know how much of a collapse will be needed to make that happen... so the LAST thing I will like to know is in wtf year and month I'm; I will be too busy just surviving.

One of my preps that I have stored up is several boxes of pencils and a couple stacks of notepads. I plan on dedicating one of these notepads to keeping a daily log/calendar.

I can read the stars enough that I could tell the solstice and equinox on the day happened without too much trouble. After the lights are out permanently on civilization all we will have is the twinkling of the stars for entertainment. The knowledge will of this will not be lost. In fact I intend to become better at when there are less distractions like the Internet.

If you don't know what day it is, It doesn't really matter.

Every day is your birthday. Go celebrate.

[Ivan_M]

birthdays have always seemed like an odd thing to celebrate to me.

I cant wait for that day myself.

I HATE time in any tracked form. I dont even wear a wristwatch. If it werent for my fucking job I honestly probably wouldnt own a clock.

When I'm hungry I eat. When I'm tired I sleep. I dont eat at 8, 12 and 6. I dont sleep when its dark or get up when its light.

I go by what my body tells me. Unfortunately such a system isnt very conducive to getting along in todays civilization.

If I never knew what day it was again for the rest of my life I'd be a happier man for it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', 'A')nd, I kind of like the idea of not knowing your birthday or how old you are. But, anyway there are plenty of people who can tell from the stars what day it is. The science is not at all lost to history.

[idomar]

yesterday a friend asked me how old my sister was, I had no idea, like SPG i had to work out how old I was then subtract the age difference between us. I still got it wrong.

Here ya go, Rocc. Just print one out (or 3 dozen). Laminate them. Pass them down like treasured heirlooms. Now you won't have to worry for at least 10,000 years. After that I can't help ya much.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('roccman', 'Y')our fantasies about reading the stars AND THEN convincing others your are right...are just that...fantasies.

Celestial observation for date calibration is possible and requires no high technology. Good lord. Sure, there are some that won't 'believe' it. There are people that don't believe the earth is not flat and that humans landed on the moon etc. So what? I don't believe the clock on my microwave.
