check out the GNU date function. I know that you can specify 'yesterday'
and believe that you can 'tomorrow' as well, so if tomorrow is the first,
then today is the last. Sorry, I'm on a solaris box with boring date and
it doesn't do that to my knowledge.

When Gladstone was British Prime Minister he visited Michael Faraday's
laboratory and asked if some esoteric substance called `Electricity'
would ever have practical significance.
"One day, sir, you will tax it," was the answer.
