For anyone who is interested in numbers, today is unlike any day you will ever experience.

December 31, 2023 is literally a 123-123 day (12/31/23). It is the only day in the next 100 years like this. I’m hearing that more people are getting married in Las Vegas today because of this.

I don’t know how one would celebrate a day like this. For instance, there isn’t enough time to look through 123,123 coins. That would be over 49 $25 boxes of pennies! I’m not able to write a check that big. So what can be done to celebrate this?

I'll do something mildly interesting and post at 12:34pm local time.

The US custom of dating by month day then adding the year, and then using only a 2 digit year, to create a "special" date seems silly. 2023-12-31 or 31-12-2023 are better date formats, same day, not at all special. Like declaring a new Millennium in 2000, when it didn't start until the next year. No need to celebrate it as anything other than another new years eve. Bah humbug ... lol
