April 9, 2024. To get UTC add 2.5 hours.
As I feared, there has been another full reset,
but with no further changes required.
Though it is cloudy here, the earliest waxing crescent has
been sighted in some parts of the world, and Eid-al-fitr
will be celebrated in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere
on April 10 (or I think technically from the evening of
April 9 to the evening of April 10).
Though Mohammed is not a popthrough ootw but is
a Founder/Guru/Missionary/Prophet type, a correlation
with EId-al-fitr would be acceptable to me, and I still
hope that the blessing I mentioned on alt.religion.islam
last night will occur tonight.
I also invoke my Silver Bough thumb again, from
https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/thumbs.html ,
in which I thumbed at random a new moon poem
that in translation ended with the line
“Thou moon of moons and of blessings!”
(There are also a Koran thumb and a Koran finger
on that webpage.)
With that in mind I began a new attempt at 5:12 p.m.
I won’t post updates unless someone asks me to,
but you can assume I am proceeding much as I
did in the “Post-total-solar-eclipse attempt” thread.
Please follow up if you have any questions or can
note any effects.
I hope I don’t have to wait until I first see the
waxing crescent here with my naked eyes, which
could be another couple of days.
