Due to the irregularity caused by leap years, however, August does not begin on a Sunday exactly once every seven years; instead, the phenomenon follows a 6-5-6-11 pattern. That is, when August begins on Sunday, that event occurs again six years later, then five years later, then six years later, and finally eleven years later, whereupon the cycle repeats. Thus we see patterns of Sunday-beginning Augusts in clusters of years like the following:

    1965, 1971, 1976, 1982, 1993
    1993, 1999, 2004, 2010, 2021
    2021, 2027, 2032, 2038, 2049

We're approaching the end of a cycle and thus the longest gap between occurrences, but that gap is a mere eleven years, not eight centuries.

Although this August doesn't start on a Sunday, Friday will have the same repeat cycle.

Good news, then I actually have a chance to be around for the next occurrence.

As do some of the rest of us mere mortals.

I'd be much calmer if I was on an ocean liner looking at that.

On the road again!
The only time I saw the Sun today was early in the morning. (Leaving Indiana.)
I guess it made driving a little easier but, rain and windshield wipers tend to make me tired....

Bob,

Use "Rain-X" windshield washer fluid and save your windshield wipers. 
When I'm driving down the highway I never use the wipers.
With "Rain-X" the water just beads right off at speeds of 45 MPH or higher.

I use a rental car for business. They supply whatever keeps the windshield clean. I highly doubt it's Rain-X.

Being away from home during the monsoon season,
makes for some surprising views when returning home.
All the added water has brought out some excellent results.

Unfortunately, the weeds have also enjoyed the abundance of water.

Not all fires can be put out by the local fire department.

This mornings sky seems extremely red. We'll probably be getting some more rain today.

So they're saying that nothing beats Windows. That's a given so no real news here.
