    Since over here we do not put the day before the month when we write dates down ......
    next year at 3 minutes, 4 seconds after 2 on May 6th, it will be 02,03,04,05,06,07
    and will progress up each year after that until 2014 when it will be 09,10,11,12,13,14
    since there are only 12 months in a year it will stop there.

    Also, next year will be the last time you could write the sequence backwards. At 11 minutes, 10 seconds past 12 on Sept. 8,07 it will be 12, 11,10,09,08,07
    because clocks are only numbered 1-12. If you were to use military time (1-24 instead) then you could continue thru 1500 hours....15th hour, 14 minutes, 13 seconds, 12th month, 11th day, 10th year

    I sometimes have this freakish fascination with numbers. I will stop now, let my brain rest and go smell my beautiful popsicle fragranced purple Iris that have started blooming.
    :D
