Majorly convergence of minor harmonies going on.

1. People have an intrinsic sense of numerology, so we have 'favorite' 'lucky' numbers, and we have 'superstitious' numbers. None of it is ever taught in schools and surely not in the homes, and there are elaborate books and courses for 'immersion' study of Numerology ... which go mostly unsubscribed. So, is it curious where the intrinsic sense of numbers comes from?

2. I enjoyed your John and Yoko vignette, Jack. You meet all kinds and everyone in NYC; I met a few. WashDC is fun that way, too, and London, too, altho' my encounter experiences in both those places combined I can number on one hand.

3. When I started bumping into the ten-ten-ten 'pre-buzz' lately, I mulled and pondered P.R. angles on it looking for an entre' where I could make a buck. Then I remembered: Oh, yeah: The Future.

11/11/2011 11:11:11am GMT War Ends

Peace on Earth 11/11/11 - we won/we won/we won - won world, won love,
one won for us all
one-one/one-one/one-one -- won, won, won

WWI, (World War I -- 'The War to End All Wars' it was called as it happened, but then when WW II happened they had to go back and rename the prior one WW I in order to origin and anchor 'square 1' to begin counting from, for WW II), while I like to still think of it as The War to End All Wars, was ended on 11/11/1918 11:11am EuroTime (10:11am GMT).

The thing of it was, (I have long thought), that the 'number power' of "11/11 11:11am" had ended the intractable and futile trench warfare across Europe because 'everyone' recognized the convergence of the '1's as being the moment to break the spell and which would start peace, and because numbers translate into all languages without mistranslation -- so 11/11 11:11am was 'understood' the same way, had the same intrinsic sensibility for Brits, Germans, French, Italians, Spanish, Russians and who-all, and they each knew the 'other' knew exactly the same 'meaning' (peace) and there was no misunderstanding. (Later I found out what was wrong about my version, imagined, of the interminable trench warfare and the long advance time (weeks?) ahead that 'leaders' had and planned to stop battle on reaching (the time odometer) 11/11 11:11am, as the 'magic moment' combatants would lay down their guns and say, "stop. game's over. let's don't do this anymore." And instead, what I found out was really true is this: Armistice - The End of World War I, 1918, and the sentence in reading it that struck me most is this: "(Soldiers) were bewildered by the sudden meaninglessness of their existence as soldiers." As if fighting is the only activity in which they find meaning or self-identity in their lives; as we sort of do today but we call it 'job' or 'career' and without such competitive fighting activity then (unemployed) people are ever as much 'bewildered by the sudden meaninglessness of their existence.')

So that is the P.R. 'promotion' angle I came up with, after thinking about ten-ten-ten. Hear ye, hear ye:

On November 11th, 2011, at 11 minutes past eleven o'clock in the morning in London, 11/11/11 11:11am be it known: War Ends.

Humankind wars no more after then. All arms and nuclear weapons are decommissioned. The US brings home all its troops and closes all its bases around the world. In the FY'2012 Federal Budget to be passed and enacted on Oct. 1, 2011, there will be no appropriations for Pentagon and Dept.of Def. -- the Congress and President have about 1 year, starting now, to order the generals and admirals to withdraw everywhere and return to USA to a hero's heroic Welcome Home. Other nations are not going to attack us because they are disarming, too, by 11/11/11 11:11am GMT.

Like John and Yoko said: Imagine.

(p.s. I receive your early good wishes, Jack, for a happy 10/10/10, and in reply offer you the profound hope for the best to come 11/11/11 to you and yours. T.)

I'm going to hold off to try to be the tenth to wish you the same.

Happens every 100 years! More interesting is that this October has five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays. This happens only every 823 years . . . or so they say!

Hey! It's my 31st birthday, so thanks for the warm wishes. Now if only my underdog pick could turn it around.

While calculating the decimal equivilent of 101010 as a binary number, the answer is 42. Guess what? That is the answer from the mega computer in The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
