  In LOTR, all the things that needed to happen, needed to happen eventually and the Fellowship decided to get proactive about it. (Well, Frodo did, and a bunch of princes swore to champion him).

  Here in the states, when I was a kid, there were things that needed to happen eventually and it was clear during my childhood (1970s) that every year we weren’t proactive risked problems in the future.

  And we were all nah, kick the can down the line a decade. It won’t matter. even after the 2000 general election which was stolen by SCOTUS and the Federalist Society. By then it may have been too late. But we didn’t care.

  Frodo’s super-power was proactivity. Initiative.

  I swear October is not a thing in Middle-Earth, they have different month names or something. He did say that in the movie though.

    Just checked my copy of the book and it’s October there too. It also starts by saying that Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday is 22nd September so it’s not a one off.

      I stand corrected. Not sure where I got the impression then. False memories.

    Month names are a thing but they exist as a translation. Same as names of people and places.

    For example, Frodo Baggins is translation of Maura Labingi.

    tbf modern english/european month names come from rome, before that was adopted people had different names for them or they used a different system alltogether.
