As I sat down to type this week’s news I noticed that the date is a numerical palindrome, 9-1-19, meaning it can be read forward or backward and it’s the same number. There will be 10 more like it this month. They are: 9-10-19, 9-11-19, 9-12-19, 9-13-19, 9-14-19, 9-15-19, 9-16-19, 9-17-19, 9-18-19 and 9-19-19. The next one won’t be until 2-2-22. There are only 38 palindrome numbers in this century and we get to observe 11 of them this month.
