    You've got a couple of days left to get your definitions in.  I've
    received a paltry selection so far -- not to say that the
    definitions aren't good, but there have been only three of them 
    Don't make me have to extend the deadline!<br>

      <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>
