We're almost to year 18.

It's dismaying to try to explain something and just make it even more confusing than it was initially.

I finally got dismayed enough that I decided to do something about it.

And what I did was lay down naked and think it over.

By the way, quick correction, because a listener just wrote in about this.

We're about to be at year 19 and completed year 18, technically.

No, really?

Yeah, because year 19 and year 20 are the two next years.

Does that make sense?

It does, but I feel like it's wrong because we started in April 2008 and going to April of 2026, that's 18 years.

Completed.

I see.

Yeah, I should have known.

Right when somebody busted out math, I should have just been like, yeah, that's right.

The cool thing about the Hemi cycle, besides the fact that people back then probably said, is that thing a Hemi when they walked by?

You know, I couldn't resist that one.

But they knew at that point, it's a pretty smart thing, that the sun's position changes over the course of the year, over the course of those seasons.

Obviously, shorter winter hours, which we're going to get to.

But they they accounted for that.

They had sundials that would show the time using multiple arcs carved into the hemisphere to account for that sun changing over the course of the year.
