I think we should abandon the Catholic calendar and all that Middle 
East stuff and begin a US Calendar that begins with either the Atom 
Bomb, our most significant offering to the world, or use my birthday. 
OK, we might consider 1776 ADCE as a good starting point. Thus we might 
write August 10, 226 US or 60 US. And then we might consider getting 
rid of all those Roman names for days and months, perhaps using a bar 
code symbol instead or OneWorkDay, TwoWorkDay, ThreeWorkDay, OneOffDay, 
TwoOffDay. We could name the months SpringOne, SpringTwo, SummerOne, 
SummerTwo, etc. Or just drop the names and use numbers as we do in 
8.8.226 and use the period instead of the slash bar since it is easier 
to type.

It seems appropriate since the US Constitution says that Congress shall 
make no law regarding the establishment of a religion and isn't that 
what using the Catholic Calendar or the Jewish Calendar or the Muslim 
Calendar, etc, does?

I just happened to remember that I have a problem remembering things 
and I am a procrastinator. So I decided to create an automated system 
to remind and force me to follow up. I'll probably start on it tomorrow.
