LOL since Ramadan is occurring this time of year Have to fast from About 4:30 AM to 10:30 PM leaves only 6 hours to munch and get some sleep.
For those who wonder, we are forbidden to fast to the extent it endangers our health. Because of my age and poor health I am not able to do a full fast. I usually have to take some fluids and sometimes a small snack if I begin to feel dizzy. My intent is to do a full fast but this old body does not always cooperate.
Take care of yourself, and we know that you take care of others.
If I am not mistaken, this point is very much misleading in that some of the tribes and individuals were very definitely living lives that comported with standard white practices and religion, but were put on the trail simply because they were native Americans. It may seem like a minor whitewash, but let's call a spade a spade.

I wondered about that. I seem to recall it coming later in the summer in other years? (Not exactly an expert on these things.)
For the curious this is how I keep track of the prayer times. The program pops up for the Athan (Call to Prayer) about 10 minutes before each prayer time.

We use the Hijr Calender. It is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian Calender. Each Islamic Month starts 11 days sooner each year. Next year Ramadan will begin on June 17, Year after that it will begin on June 6 etc.
