Way back when I was in high school Latin class, the teacher explained this very thing. It was just the way the Romans and others counted the days. We go by a 24 hrs as being one day where they just counted the days, Fri being one day, Sat -day 2 and Sunday being day 3.
I broke off part of a front tooth just sliding down a 3 ft high terrace onto the shoveled sidewalk, after being told not to do it. Hey, it worked the first time! It was fun until my dad shoveled the sidewalk.
I also enjoy the links. I had a hard time trying to keep up when this new system started. I just wish we could go further back with the strips. Thank you for your work!!
