There are no cool number days this week, but yesterday was extraordinary (and as you can see from the picture below, it was cold)!

Just after I wrote a post about the mileage on our silver Honda Pilot reaching 111,111 miles (see 9/13/13, Cool Numbers), I drove to Missouri to attend the memorial service for my Best Man Glenn.  The time with his family was great, I got to stay one night with Linnea in Chicago and another night with my sister Cindy in St Louis, and then saw brother Scott and sister Elaine for lunch in Indianapolis. But adding an extra thousand miles made it impossible to match a true November date (e.g. 112813) on the Pilot’s odometer.

On the way home it did occur to me that December 1 is really the same as November 31. Given that bit of illogic, I was able to watch and wait for the odometer and calendar to match.  Yesterday, November 44, 2013 = 114413 = December 14, 2013. I thought about driving another hundred miles today to match up 114513, but realized that would create a lot of pressure for 114613, etc.  Maybe I need to go to St Louis again in a week or so…
