October Tenth, Two Thousand Ten

Have been reflecting today on the fact that this is the tenth time in as many years that I've experienced a "once-in-a-millennium" date. Doing some crude math, it will be 14 generations from now that my family and peers will get to experience this phenomenon again. I wonder if there's some weird name for this date anomaly?


It all started, of course, with January 1st, 2001 : 01/01/01.


Today being 10/10/10, it means that we've only got two more years to enjoy this quirk of the Gregorian calendar before it becomes a footnote in our minds and current history.


Something to add to the bucket list, I suppose. . .

Odd how things like this pop into one's head while folding laundry!
