Huh, I suppose I should have gone this route, but I calculated the Nth
day of the year once and then adjusted it based on whether it was a leap
year or not if it's after Feb 28/29th:

  REM Aug [25 - isleap(current())] +1 MSG %"0xED day%" %b

(I've designated the 153rd day of the year as ed(1) day because 0xED is
decimal 153 :-)

Hah, because of the Unicode mangling in my LANG=C mutt output giving
me that "??????", I parsed this initially as something about "Remind
spells" as if they were incantations for making proper reminders and the
imagery made me laugh.
