Today's date is a rather rare occurance in the scheme of things known as a "palindrome date" (where is mrtexas). The number digits in today's date read the same forward or backwards. To be just a little more clear, today is 02/02/2020. An eight-digit palindrome date has not occurred in over 900 years....since 11111111, or 11/11/1111. I've always had an affinity for playing with numbers and some of the "interesting" things that one can do with them. Was just thinking to myself that at two minutes and two seconds after 2:00 AM this morning, the time and date digits would have consisted of "02020202022020", or technically...02:02:02,02/02/2020. Ain't none of us'ns will live to see the next 8-digit palindrome date of 12122121, or 12/12/2121, over 101 years away. DD
