9-9-9

You are not likely to live to see the next single digit date. It will be 92 years, 1/1/2101. So I hope you enjoyed 9/9/09!

• The date falls on a Wednesday in September, both of which have 9 letters.
• September 9 also is the 252nd day of the year. 2+5+2
• In addition, if you multiply a single-digit number by 9, the resulting two digits add up to 9. Consider: 8x9

Doesn't it remind you of the song, "Nine,nine, nine, fantastic number nine!"

Bike Trip Day 2

Sunday, we had clear sunny skies for our ride on the White Pine Trail to Rockford. This was 18 miles, which made my grand total for the weekend 66 miles! (That would be a record for me!)

2x2 Bike Trip

Here we are on our bike trip. We rode the Musketawa Trail from Marne to Muskegon. Here is our group of 10. Much of our view was like this. The two of us would ride along, and lose sight of the others. Then we'd see them up ahead waiting for us. We enjoyed the morning, being outdoors and riding together. How often do you see 11 buzzards on a power line? The afternoon was much harder, having already ridden 24 miles, we now got to ride in a cold rain. Fortunately, the wind was behind us most of the way, which helped, but we were pretty cold and wet when we reached the end! More pictures on Facebook.

Old Pictures

I was scanning a bunch of very old pictures. Here are a few of my favorites. The whole collection is on Facebook.
