Well, on September 13th we totally missed the 15th anniversary of the nuclear waste dump explosions and subsequent ejection of the Moon from the solar system. How soon we forget. ---

Can you remember what you were up to that day? Maybe see what other dates were your 10000, 20000 and so on. Unless you’re past 82, the 30000 day ought to be in your future. Let’s hope!
