Good morning, Whitewater.
This Saturday, we’ll have fog in the morning with cloudy skies thereafter. The high today will be forty-one. Sunrise is 7:17 AM and sunset 4:21 PM, for 9h 03m 41s of daytime.
It’s 12.13.14, and as a close friend told me yesterday, one won’t again have the chance to write the day’s date as three sequential numbers until 2103.
There are some other interesting dates yet ahead, before then, if not sequential ones:
Although 12-13-14 will be the last sequential MM-DD-YY date for 89 years, we won’t have to wait until 2103 for similarly interesting dates to pop up. On Google+, John Judy points out a few: “Jan. 2, 2034 gives you something similar [1-2-34], while Jan. 23, 2045 lets you use all double-digit listing [1-23-45]. Feb. 2, 2022 is going to be the next one to get headlines, though [2-22-22].” I would argue that April 3, 2021 — 4-3-21 — might be worthy of note as well.
Fun stuff.
On this day in 2000, Al Gore concedes the presidential election to George W. Bush.
In our state’s history on this date, in 1864, Wisconsinites defending the Union push farther into Georgia:
