True! Actually, it can sorta be Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. The herbies are in the backyard, but the city can't pick them up there because of the wall which extends from the carriage house to the 'second' house (this is an older home, built in the days before indoor plumbing). The landlord sometimes puts the herbies out Tuesday night, sometimes Wednesday, and sometimes very early Thursday, depending on how ambitious he's feeling. (The gate has to be kept locked, meaning the tenants have no control.)
TNP rarely knows which day of the week it is and the date at the same time without having to look at a calendar or schedule.
