Re: Odd error from day_of_year

Bridget,

Your assumption was correct, that this error would mean that you've
inputted a month of -8 for the 2nd argument of day_of_year.

One possibility is that you are not passing integers to this function.

Also, as Dave Allured asked, are you getting any other errors or
warnings from your script?
