I want to make
February 28th
The official
ROCK DAY!

I want to petitions the powers that be
to duly note it on the calendar.

I have my reason for wanting to make today
---and all February 28th---
the official
[glow=blue,2,300]ROCK DAY![/glow]

I also realize that many of you
will have another day you prefer.

So to be fair submit your day and reason (or not)
Of what day you prefer to be the official rock day!
---down the road will make a pole and vote for the day---

Happy Rock Day !

I would pick june 21. The summer solstice means you can pick rocks almost 24 hours, well, maybe 20 hours where I live. Although, if I took a trip about 600 miles north, there would be 24 hours of daylight. I do know of some huge gravel pits up there too;)

It's good to be Canadian.
know who grows your food, buy local.

I may have been thinking of that because groundhogs live, work, play in the dirt just like rockhounds ;D

Wow Lori Ground hound day??? February 2nd? Here’s something historically interesting I found out about Ground Hog Day. It was called Candlemas Day if Wikipedia is any authority.

An early American reference to Groundhog Day can be found in a diary entry, dated February 5, 1841, of Berks County, Pennsylvania storekeeper James Morris:

Last Tuesday, the 2nd, was Candlemas day, the day on which, according to the Germans, the Groundhog peeps out of his winter quarters and if he sees his shadow he pops back for another six weeks nap, but if the day be cloudy he remains out, as the weather is to be moderate."

That candling is everywhere!

My reasons for February 28th being the official Rock Day?
Hmmm… well…
Its 2 weeks after Valentines day --- traditionally a strong rock day. But many of us fools haven’t got a rock yet. So this is the last chance to give your sweetheart a rock in that month! Except for leap year when we get one more day to leap over that rock!

Anyway February a good rock month! But I like Brent idea to. June is a rock'n month! I'd only haggle over the day. I'd choose the 28th. Hung up on the 28th.

But nny month as long as we get a
Rock Day!

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
