Abbreviated Calendar

Some calendars with 28 days or 21 days chopped out of each month.

Isn't it interesting that the last days of the month always end up on the same days of the week as the first days of the month?

If you are good at taking numbers modulo 7, these calendars are good enough.

The month of February sometimes entirely disappears.

28-day cuts:
