The man page does use today() in this example.  Changing all instances
to trigdate() works as expected except in one corner case: if Wednesday
is omitted, the message is printed for both Tuesday and Wednesday
instead of Tuesday alone.

If Wednesday is omitted, there should be no trigger for that day; trash
day remains Tuesday.  I've puzzled over this for a while, and can't
understand why I'm getting this behavior.

Thanks!
