I want to start this post by saying if Gregorian came from a guy named Gregory, there should be a Lindarian something or other.

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt is courtesy of Willow. Check out her blog here!

Things that were readily available when the Gregorian calendar (the one we use now) came about (in the late 1500s):

1. Horses on every corner. Or at least on every corner that mattered.
2. Fresh vegetables without steroids.
3. Clean air. (Except where the horses were, then WHEW, how ’bout that smell?)
4. Kids that weren’t glued to a screen most of the time.
5. Lots of blacksmiths. Because horses.

Things that weren’t readily available when the Gregorian calendar came about:

1. Horsepower. At least not the car kind.
2. Milk in bags. Not in Ontario or Quebec, Canada? It’s a thing.
3. Air that’s free of the scent of horse manure. (But what about those diesel engines? WHEW!)
4. Computers that could tell you at any given point how many days to Christmas … I could actually do without that, thanks very much.
5. Few blacksmiths, plenty of tire shops.

And that’s my Lindarian list.
