Did you know that April 1st used to be the beginning of the year on the Julian calendar, but got moved to January first in 16th-century France? The change came when they switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar.
Doug, I used to love playing April Fools jokes on fellow workers, but now working by myself for so many years, haven't.

Hi Doug- I had no idea!!! The best April Fool's Joke I read this morning was on Instagram- it went something like this- Texas legislature considering banning high school football and replacing it with touch football. The vote will be held on APRIL 31.

Kathy Streib I go through my blog posts occasionally, and when I did this one, I saw that I didn't reply to your comment.
There would be an uprising in TX if football was ever touched...lol

Doug Dawes I was sorry I didn't have that Zillow one for my own post yesterday!
I did not know that April 1st used to be the first of the year; if that truly is the case, haha. In my lifetime, I have always known it as January 1st, haha.

The Zestimate as an April Fools joke. Not too far from the truth. Jeff
