Renaming the Months

Authors

A, Ross Eckler

Abstract

Most people are familiar with the dictum that one should only eat oysters in months containing the letter R, even though refrigeration has made this caution unnecessary. The letter R is contained in eight consecutive months, September through April, but absent from the remainder, May through August.
