2-22-22

[skychaser]

Today is 2-22-22. Or 22-2-22 depending on where you live. We have to waint another 100 years for another 2-22-22 to come around. The forecast high for today in Spokane is 22. with a low of 2. Where I live, the low tonight is forecast to be -2. Current wind chill is -22. I have 2 new seed orders so far today for 2 multi-packs of tobacco seed each. I have 2 orders to ship today. It's 2 miles to the Post Office and 2 miles back. An order going to Arizona is for 2 x $222. This is getting 2 weird for me. Is it happening 2 you 2?

2 funny. Twice.

Given that our assignment of year number, month number and day number are completely arbitrary, I think you should apply for a federal grant to study the cosmic significance of palindromic dates. What ever happened to week number?

The armistice ending World War 1 was signed by both sides a little before 6 am, but would not go into effect until 11 am. The signatories liked the feel of "the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month". Over 2700 men died between those two times.

An article that was sent to me today. Freezing rain/snow/ice all over here in WI. 100 years later!

It's also Tuesday (TWOs-day), the second day of the week. And yes I've also encountered a bunch of incidental 2s today.

The split pea soup that I'm making is taking two long to cook.

I didn't catch that. It is twosday. Wow. I did notice that it was 2:22 twice today. Coincidence? hmmm I wonder.

I was going to buy 2 lotto tickets and then when no one ever sees me again you'll all know I won 22 million. But I like your idea better. I could milk that for years and get 10 times as much easy.

We had an ice strorm like that in the 90's. I remember standing outside at midnight in dead silence, except to the sound of trees breaking everywhere. Didn't think there would be one left by dawn. The power was out in places for over 2 weeks.

My mother's birthday was 22 FEB 1922. Fortunately for me, she was born in Louisville, KY, rather than in Wisconsin on that day. She would have turned 100 today. (I am aware of not one single family member, over many generations of large families, who made it to the big 100.) I used to remember her birthday as being the same month and day as Washington's birthday (which was 22 FEB 1732). But then the US homogenized that holiday into "Presidents" Day. So I usually just remember it was some time in the last week of February. As with today's date, 2022 02 22, the date 1922 02 22 only works as a palindrome if you (conveniently) drop the first two embarrassing digits of the Gregorian calendar year.

My amazing better half took me to a physical therapy appointment today (ruptured Achilles’ tendon at the end of November). The route we took, not many cars on the road and some trees frozen like they were being blown by a high wind. Pretty crazy to see. Temps should be up I’m thinking by Saturday. Now it’s just going to be cold and more snow on Thursday. It could be far worse for sure!

I’m sorry for the loss @deluxestogie. I can only imagine the stories and memories she had. I agree that she was more fortunate to have lived in Louisville, KY. I love that city! That’s crazy coincidence though on the date… let alone year!
