The-ne- xt time sfter this year will be In 1976. The deciding factor Is the extra day (February 29) every seven leap years.. Now this is the place for someone who knows calendar law to argue that since the coming year 2000 (a century year divisible by 400) is not a leap year, it will be 32 more years, or 2008, after 1976 before the three holidays again appear on Sundays.

Its OK for a cop to stop in In front of a fireplug or run through a red light but not for a mere civilian. Its OK for congress to pass laws and the folks are supposed to obey them but congress can disregard the law, as witness the legislative reorganization act which congress passed to eliminate obsolete methods and to streamline Its working for benefit of everybody.
