Heh, that's a good one, Wolfram. My mind is staying so very much in the plebian with these pictures, I'm having a hard time coming up with anything.

Because of the angle of the picture, I was staring at the horses trying to count them. Once I figured out there were four, this just kind of popped into my head.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
So, if a person were to enter a writing contest that says it will notify finalists in "early June," at what point should that person give up hope? Today, because only the first week of a month is really early? June 15, because anything in the first half is early? Only after the finalists are listed on the website and her name isn't there?
(I'm entered in the Pacific NW Writers Association literary contest, science fiction & fantasy category, and I'm ridiculously nervous, because it's the first time this WIP will be read by total strangers. And, they notify finalists by mail, so I can already guarantee I won't find out today. By MAIL. Sheesh. I don't get it. Not only is there this new-fangled thing called the internet, there's this downright old-fangled thing called the telephone.)

I'd give it 3-4 days after June 15th. As you said, "early June" can mean anything as late as the 15th. Since mail can take a few days, allow for that.
