    <div class="moz-forward-container">It hasn't been too long, but so
      far nobody has admitted to knowing about GROUNATION DAY.  I have
      received a couple of definitions.  I'll make a request/provide a
      guideline: definitions of GROUNATION DAY should include the
      following three elements:<br>
      1) When?  (when does/did it occur?)<br>
      2) Where/Who? (where is/was it observed, or who observes/observed
      it?)<br>
      3) What? (what is it about?)<br>
      (Don't necessarily need to know how or why, though you can throw
      that in if you like.)<br>
      <br>
      If those who have already submitted definitions want to amend
      them, go ahead.  And to answer a question from one person, your
      definition went only to me, not to the list.  Get the definitions
      to me by the end of Peggie Scott's birthday.  (What?  You don't
      know Peggie Scott?  She'll be 71 on June 9.  And that's not what
      Grounation Day is.)<br>

      OK, I won that one, and the first try here will be for a
      description of some kind of observance:<br>
