It's Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day all at once, O gentle reader. Really bad planning if your sweetheart is trying to give up chocolates for Lent. Or red roses.
I drew this cartoon the last time the calendar had this horribly bad planning six years ago; the pastor at one of my churches liked it so much we put it in the newsletter this time.
It will be a propos once again five years from now, but not again until sometime in the 22nd Century. After that, we'll have switched over to using Star Dates, and with its decimal system, nobody will be able to figure out when Februaries and Wednesdays are.
By that time, I, for one, shall have returned to dust anyway.
Gather ye rose buds while ye may.
