Eleventy-Eleven

11-11 was always a party day and time for certain of my friends. Now it is a time to remember those 11-11 people of mine.
11 is "peace" in the I Ching:
PEACE. The small departs, The great approaches. Good fortune. Success.22 was also a "special" number to many people I've known. Once you find a "special" number you will see it everywhere.

I walked down to the Veterans Day Memorial Ceremony from our office. They dedicated a new Memorial park today. In the middle of the ceremony, behind us at the corner intersection a minivan ran up a bollard and flipped. It almost sounded like a small bomb. There were people sitting in fold out chairs on the corner and by the time we walked back to the office there were at least 4 ambulances. 5 people were injured, one treated on site and released. The other 4 went to the hospital. Turns out a woman had a "medical emergency" (I assume a heart attack or stroke) and lost control of her car. She hit a few pedestrians in the process.
Just prior to that happening a number of officers were being called to the side of the memorial, some running. I never found out what that was about.
My work computer has gremlins in it today as well. Possible Reformat Hard Drive gremlins.
Hope dinner and the concert tonight are less eventful.

For devotees of the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap, 11/11/11 is the day to honor the genius of Nigel Tufnel. The guitarist played by Christopher Guest rocked the world with amplifiers that "go to 11."

Seriously. . .I actually took that day to remember and give thanks to all those who have served honorably for our Country, including several of my family members. It was a very poignant day for us here. My wife and I watched a very nice concert with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, flew the flag and were just very reflective and grateful.
It was a good thing to do considering I wasn't carried up by aliens, and the world didn't end.

Lol, very funny.
Out of curiosity does the new Siri technology in the iPhone recognise a scottish accent?

Well, Siri does understand a word I say
And I've fallen foul of the battery debacle.
