Since "The Origin..." was published in November and the Beagle sailed in December those are not much help as alternative dates either.Athena wrote:The above is my best effort at putting a message from J and N up. (See attachment for an idea of how it should look.)
I echo the sentiments, of course, but what do people think of Darwin Day? Personally, I like it but want it moved to the summer.

Yes, Indeed, jaywhat, Happy Darwin Day to you too.jaywhat wrote:In 1809, on the 13 February, Charles Darwin was one day old.
I forgot it was his birthday yesterday and so now I wish everyone a late Happy Darwin Day.
Is Spring on its way?jaywhat wrote:Here is a verse from a recent poem of mine.
I pulled the dead fish out of the pond
filled the bird tray with dried meal worms
topped up the niger seed feeder just for
the gold finches that have gone away
to winter on the Galapagos respecting
Charles Darwin and his recent birthday
Today, we had a gold finch visiting us on the niger seeds. It makes me think that they are back from the Galapagos Islands. !
