N is for Numbers

Some people believe that numbers are lucky or unlucky, can predict your future, and can decide your fate.

I don't believe any of that.  I don't have a favorite number, and I don't subscribe to numerology.

It is cool when your birthday year coincides with the calendar day of your birthday.  When I turned 19 on the 19th, that was cool!  I feel bad for people with low number birth dates who can't remember their super-special birthday.

Despite my relative nonchalance with numbers, I did think it was really cool when I was driving, glanced down to make sure I wasn't driving too fast, and saw this on my odometer:

I took the picture.  I know, I shouldn't be handling my phone while I drive, but I was on the freeway and couldn't easily pull over while the number was still perfect.  I slowed down, I didn't didn't die, I didn't crash, and I didn't even swerve in the lane.

  1. Hey, I was born on the 19th, of June. Glad you were able to get that picture without crashing.

  2. I can't tell you how many times I look at a clock and it's 12:34. It's like my mind is oddly predisposed at lunch time (or as I'm trying to get to sleep) to look at that exact time. That, or I never remember to pull that sticker off of digital clocks when I buy them.

    1. I tend to wake up at the exact same time (always over an hour before my alarm clock). Perhaps we have programmed our minds and bodies to do this... stay tuned for my letter Z post related to this idea.

    1. Thanks! Only happens once (at this number) for a car, right?
