Only Once

Just in case you wanted to know this.

On Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds
after 1:00 in the morning,
the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again.

You may now return to your (normal ?) life.

I am sure you will set your alarm clock to observe
this historical event.

What a shame, because I'll be observing this historic event thru the backs of my eyelids.

Can you imagine the odds of at this time in history (when the time lines up like above) you were driving your Canadian truck as your odometer rolls over at 123456.7 km ?

Now that's something to think about
