Talking Turtle's Birthday New Years Contest


___It is something of an inside joke that I regularly change my birthday in the Profile section. As an Old Year Going Away Gesture, I have my real birth-day in permanent place, which is January First, 1/1, New Years Day, Capricornus, party 'round the world, nearest we all often come to the sound of one hand clapping.
___Happy New Year to you all in our world, & here is the contest: Between now & midnight my time (Pacific Standard Time US), I entertain guesses as to the exact Hour & Minute (specify AM or PM) of my birth. Any & all who guess correctly I reward with One Brotherly Conduct Approval. Tormod is the official judge as I have shared this information with him beforehand.
___Get set....GO!

Happy birthday my friend Turtle; I'll take a stab at guessing that hour & minute if I may?

How about..............5:26 in the P.M.

BTW.....................And many more, and a Big Happy New Year to you also

___By all means friend Infy...by all means. Your guess is logged. I didn't specify how many guesses per person; shall I say 2? If a persson guesses 2 guesses that are the same, & if those guesses are correct, I'll give 2 Brotherly Conducts.
A toast to Brother Infy.
___Logged Brother Orby; a toast to Brother Orby.

___On the Eve of my birthday, I take a moment for my Mother & my Grandmothers; Daughters of the American Revolution all. Long Live Liberty.

___Superb! A toast to Brother Tormod & a song in his Honor.

___A toast to my Father & Grandfathers; Masons, Engineers, Doctors, & Veterans all. Long Live Lady Liberty!

___A toast to Hypographians we haven't seen in a while: UncleAl, Maddog, FreeThinker, Buffy, Bo, Sanctus, Tinny, FishTeacher, Beaker, Biochemist, & others as I recall!

___Finally, a toast to that strange day 11 months ago when we had 337 members logged in! What the heck was going on that day? No...really. I want to know what was so special that day! What the heck?

___I have been up since 6:30 am; way early for me too. Today is Saturday so Ace (the guy who owns this computer) is off work & when he gets up I may have to give over the machine to him.
___Raining here too; I'm not in the earthquake predicting business, but if I were I'd say the next 2 or three days have potential for some moderate to larger rockers. If we get one such here with the ground saturated by over 4" inches of rain in 3 days, we're in for some major slides! The next rainstorm is expected tomorrow.
___Don't forget Orby that you get two (2) guesses, either the same or 2 different. Two for the price of one for every-one.

___Now that is an interesting arithmetic problem. Inasmuch as I specified guessing to the nearest minute & midnight exact is not yet the next day to the nearest minute, I think I must correctly log you as 12:01 AM. Does this meet with every-ones' approval?
