Lloyd-
 
I agree there may be some instances where dying for a cause is
praiseworthy. Jordan Peterson said beliefs are worth dying for. Before
Peterson turned theist, he was an atheist. Would he say that his past
atheist beliefs are worth dying for? I can't think of any situation
where I have to choose death to defend my beliefs.

Greetings Lakeside Freethinkers !
 
I hope you are enjoying Fall, 2025, wherever you are!
 
Will enough of us be lakeside in Chapala / Ajijic, Mexico for our October
16 and /or November 20 meetings to have in person meetings at Yves
Restaurant?
 
Please reply to this message by saying whether you will be lakeside for our
meetings in October and/or November on the third Thursday? (Yesterday's
notice said we meet on Wednesdays... My mistake! You don't need to respond
again, as 9 of you already have... Thanks! )
 
Yes, I will be lakeside by October 16----
 
Yes I will be lakeside by November 20---
 
I'm looking forward to greeting you personally !
 
Thanks, Lloyd Kumley, Chair

I am not Carole Wolf and unfortunately I will not be back in heat for the
October and November meetings.
Hopefully I will be there in December though.

Hello, Freethinkers
Back with answers to questions nobody asked, like what is a razor, but hopefully answers people can use.
Who's familiar with the easy way to determine the day of the week from the date? Well, it's easy for the year we're in if one knows that year's "doomsday" is Friday. If we know the date of one Friday per month, we can determine the days that go with the other days that month.
The mnemonic is 7-11 is open 9-5. 7/11, 11/7, 5/9, and 9/5 are all doomsdays every year.
For the even numbered months after February, it's even easier: 4/4, 6/6. 8/8, 10/10, and 12/12 are all doomsdays. This year, they are all Fridays. Next year, they are all Saturdays, in 2027, and they will all be Sundays (in 2028, the doomsday is a Tuesday). 
Jan, Feb, and March have their own ad hoc rules.
 
To include Feb and March, remember that March 0 is a doomsday. This refers to the day before March 1, which varies from Feb 28 to Feb 29 depending on whether it's a leap year, and tells us that Mar 7 is also a doomsday. 
January is also a one-off, Jan 3 and 4 being doomsdays according to whether the year is a leap year.
I've found this to be a handy trick to use. 
 
So, let's apply this:
October 16 is a Thursday because 10/10 is a doomsday which is a Friday this year, and so 10/17 is also a Friday and 10/16 a Thursday. Easy peasy.
November 20 is also a Thursday because 11/7 is a doomsday, so 11/21 is also a Friday and 11/20 a Thursday. 
What day of the week does Christmas fall on this year? 12/12 is a doomsday (Friday this year), so two weeks later, 12/26 will be a Friday, and Christmas will be on a Thursday. My birthday is 8/14. What day of the week will it be in 2026, when the doomsday is Saturday. 8/8 is a doomsday (Saturday in 2026), so 8/14/26 will be a Friday.
This link goes into more detail for those interested in learning how to do this for any year in any century in either the Julian or Gregorian calendars, which is really a lot of work to learn, but possibly interesting to read for some. What is the day of the week? There's not much practical value to knowing more than how to do the year you're in, or maybe the year before and after, which as we just saw, is fairly simple

Hi Lloyd,
 
I will unfortunately miss both meetings.
 
I am flying to San Antonio, Texas on October 13 for some surgery. If it is also on Zoom, I might be able to participate.
 
I will be in Oaxaca for a family Thanksgiving vacation, departing Guadalajara Airport at 9:00 am on November 19. I will be back in Ajijic November 25.
 
Cheers,
 
Vijay

Hi...I don't yet know whether I will be at Lakeside for the October meeting (however, there's a reasonably good chance that I will be). I should easily be back for the November meeting.
 
Cheers,
 
Frosty

Good morning,
 
I will be Lakeside for both of those dates, barring unforeseen
 
circumstances.

When putting the new dates in the calendar, I noticed that the meetings
 
have moved to Wednesdays. That is not a problem for us, but I want to make
 
sure that it was planned and not an accident.
 
Cheers,
 
Peter

I'll preface my comments by saying intentional unjustified violence,
political or otherwise, is unacceptable. However, Charlie Kirk's
memorial service reminded me of a Christian religious revival where Kirk
was praised as a martyr. Jesus was praised as a martyr. Islam rewards
martyrdom with 40 virgins. Militaries use martyrdom with promises of an
immortal afterlife, to motivate soldiers to enter into life-threatening
situations. You may have heard the saying "There are no atheists in
foxholes." Martyrdom should never be praised.

Small correction Rich. 72 Virgin's. 
The prophet was a glutton for sex. He had 12 wives himself. 
On his many military conquests seeking forcible converts, he killed his enemy leaders, and married their most attractive wives or daughters.

Oh Peter,
 
Thank You for noticing that the dates for the next 2 months were
incorrect! Here are true dates for the next 2 meetings::
October 16th
November 20th
 
Several of you have already responded to Lloyd's request for your
availability to attend these 2 meetings. If this "updated" information
that, please let Lloyd or me know.
 
Thanks a lot ... and have a good week ahead!
 
Dab
