8,888!

Another important mark has been reached and jumped, and again there was something magical about it.
Some time ago –I think it was in April- I remember writing about what Leslie called the golden birthday as the time when you get the age of the date of your birth, like for instance become 24 on the 24th, or whatever. But is it indeed then right to call it the golden birthday? I will say no; it can only be kind of a silver birthday, as the golden one must be the optimal and unbeatable one, and can only be reach if you are 12 years or younger, meanwhile the silver is only possible for somebody aged 31 or younger.
So the golden birthday is to become 12 on the 12th of the 12th while the silver one is to become 31 on the 31st.
No this has –or shouldn’t have anything to do with birthdays being either golden or silver, no it should be about numbers being golden or silver. And here we close the circle again as we again can concentrate on the magical mark being reached. In this case it is the number of visitors to this site: Yesterday it reached the wonderful number 8,888.
It was a coincidence that I was logged on at this special time, and I can’t remember to have seen any of the other magical or golden numbers at all, but it hasn’t been as many either, only 7 of this kind of numbers before, and the next magical golden number will come after yet another 1,111 visitors will visit, like this one came after another 1,111 visitors visited the site since the last magical golden number; 7,777.
I’m really sorry I didn’t see or be able to capture this time in history, when this site passed this number, but instead I’ll give you a look at yesterdays golden number, and try to encourage you to keep your eyes open, coz then you might be lucky to see the next one, or to be sure to be the one hitting the number, you just visit the site 1,111 times.
