>>As you undoubtedly know, "binary days" are not really that rare. There are 9 of them this year. There is still something special about 11/11/11. 10/1/12 won't be the same at all ;-)

>The main reason that 10/1/12 won't be the same at all is that is not binary but trinary :)
Duh! What was I thinking? Or NOT thinking, I guess you could say ;-) Maybe I left all my thinking at the office this week. It was an excellent week, got some good stuff done, but it did wear me out a little. I'm glad it's the weekend. I plan to see some more of St. Louis. One of my brainstorms was to visit the gravesite of Miles Davis or something else Miles-related. As it turns out, Miles (who grew up in East St. Louis) is buried in the Bronx, so I guess that pilgrimage will have to wait. There is an exhibit of Monet's water lilies going at the art museum, and the Missouri History Museum is also on my hit list. We'll see what the weather is like. If it isn't rainy (the forecast the last time I looked) it would be a shame to spend a 60 degree day in November inside.
Today's trivia tidbit: St. Louis is one of three U.S. cities outside of Virginia which is not part of a county. I stumbled across this while retrieving a list of Missouri counties from the internet as part of a work task this week. The city seceded from the county in 1876. (The other two are Baltimore, Maryland, and Carson City, Nevada).
Today's trivia question: what is the longest river in the U.S.?
Most would probably guess the Mississippi, as I did. In fact the Missouri River is 200 miles longer. It is about a mile from where I am sitting. Maybe not quite as majestic as the Mississippi but pretty darned impressive in its own right.
