Astoria Life: New York Minutes

Musings from the Queen of Queens, or My 6 years of living in Queens and greater NYC, where I moved to work for the water department and ended up, among other things, traveling the world and appearing on a billboard on Times Square.

Happy 9/9/09!

It's a very special day --- consecutive nines have not been seen for 10 years (on 9/9/99) and won't be seen again for 90 more. Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9 x 62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9. Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2). Yeah, number geeks and 9-lovers! Today is a great day!
