Proof

. . . of the recent vernal equinox: I was
able to stand an egg on end—something I
do every year on the first day of spring.
(I also tried it while standing
on the 
equator last year; there, it works anytime.)

photo Hunter — "three"



This is a little trick I like to do on the
vernal equinox. Have you ever tried
it? As you can see, it works!
A physicist (and spoilsport) friend of mine 
insists that you could actually
balance an egg on its end on any day
of the year, but I still prefer to reserve this 
exercise in concentration and
patience for the 1st day of spring.
(Yay—finally, it's here!)
