I devised a 13-month calendar, based on Dr Arguelles writings, however, the Day Out of Time works much better at the Winter Solstice (equivalent to December 21st), particularly considering the Mayan End Date. This divides the year into 4 equal quarters of 13 weeks (that's 91 days), where each quarter ends/begins at one of the four cardinal points. This aligns our calendar with the seasons, at least for those of us in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The people in the Equatorial regions still have the good fortune to have 2 days a year where the Sun lies directly overhead. As much as I admire Dr Arguelles work, I don't think July 25th is the ideal date for the Day Out of Time, nor do I feel that his renaming of the weekdays works for a global community that already shares 7 weekdays based on the ancient planets. take a look and see for yourself http://theabysmal.wordpress.com/theabysmal-calendar/ happy gardening - my tomatillos are almost as tall as I am (not bad for a first try) Nice write up.

How shall it read when we look back on December 21, 2012? We certainly have the elements in place to destroy ourselves. The planet has experienced cataclysmic events in its history - polar shifts, ice ages, etc. No one really knows. What the Mayan’s meant with their End-Count calendar will always be up for speculation. It fires the imagination, for sure. SOooo let's write it like we want it. That is what Chris Fenwick did in the #1 Visionary Novel: "the 100th human." You choose... So how will WE write it? How shall it read when we look back on December 21, 2012?
