    Special day

    Something very rare will occur next Saturday, something that will happen only twice in our lifetimes or in fact in a millenium. The next time it occurs will be in 1 year, 10 months.

    Can you guess what it will be? (Hint: Ray Girling might have a hard time with this...)

    The sun will rise in the west? It's early not enough coffee yet.

          Very interesting, can see why those over the pond would have difficulty with it. On third cup and now I can focus.

              Just ask someone what is Palindrome Day is and watch the reaction. I will ask my "she who knows all" daughter in law. She will go on Snopes to find out.
