OJ,
11.11.11 is also Veterans Day; as an old USN salt don't forget to remember all our Armed Forces even more so on that day.

Ed to have known this fact, you must not be sailing enough or there was no wind for far too long, Steve.

Number crunching

Post by Ed Haley »

Steve:
You're right on the money! I need to find a way to put sails on my bicycle for running interstates :wink:

BTW, in tonight's paper, I saw that a baby boy was born exactly at 11:11 on 11/11/11 in Los Angeles at Southern California Hospital. We thought maybe mom sort of "pushed" it through and fudged the timing. The serendipity of the event was that the birth occurred in room 1111.

In my former career as a geek in research, I would crunch numbers every day. I still mentally do the random number crunching as a weird leftover of my myopic scientific pursuits.

Sailing the wide open spaces relieved the stress of inquiring into the internal crystalline lattices in an x-ray lab. But old habits are hard to break. I know that because OJ tells me so. And he knows. :)

As the old joke goes...

A man wakes up in the morning and it is 5:55 a.m. The temperature is 55 degrees and the humidity is 55%. He turns on his TV to channel 5. He gets up and it is may 5th. he heads to work and his car has 55,555.5 miles on the odometer. He gets to work goes to the 5th floor. He has five messages. IT DAWNS ON HIM. He rushes to the race track. His ticket is $5 and he is put in section 5, row 5, seat 5. In the fifth race is a horse called, "Double Nickels". He understands fate as spoken. He bets his entire bank account and maxes all credit cards. The race is won... DOUBLE NICKELS CAME IN FIFTH.
Fair winds, Neil
