I got an email from a friend pointing out that this July will have 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays, and 5 Sundays. This happens once every 823 years.
Neat, huh?

Interesting.

I am sure I will find an excuse to consume an adult beverage before that time.

Very neat.

I am not buying the "every 823 years" thing. It would depend on what day of the week the 1st of July falls. Seems that the odds are one in 7.

I should have done research before taking my friend at her word.
