Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

News and Observation: 12:34:56 7/08/09

OK, I missed it. But, in my defense, NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT IT and it just didn't enter my mind.

But, yesterday, at 12:34:56, both AM and PM, all those numbers lined up in just that manner. I was asleep for the first and at Bob's house having a great lunch with good friends for the PM. This only happens once (or twice) every 100 years, so guess I'll miss the next one.

This was in the July 8th Chicago Tribune (which I read at 5 PM).

It also listed some other mathematically-significant days like 9/09/09, especially at 9:09 AM and PM at 9 seconds.

We already missed 01:03 on 5/07/09, 3/03/09 (square root day). Guess when the next one is in seven years. See below.

Then, for the real math enthusiasts, there's 3/14 and 7/22, which is Pi Day.

BELOW-- 4/04/16.
