Subject: Re: Basic date/time question.

Or (after converting the strings to real Time objects):

period1 = ("December 1, 00:00:00"..."December 16, 00:00:00")

period2 = ("December 16, 00:00:00"..."January 1, 00:00:00")

Note the end-excluding three-dot Range constructor.

This way of thinking works with Date or Time and means that for any  
given date in December, only one of these can be true:

period1.include?(given)
period2.include?(given)
