    6 + 9 = 15
    6 * 9 = 54

    Hmm nothing particularly interesting with that number except for the Astrologers and Numerologists.

    HOLY SHIT!!!! W-w-wait a minute!!!!

    15 + 54 = 69!

    Carding a 79 pretty much makes my whole summer.
    Never did better than 81 [at least never without cheating at all] this year, and at my age, I don't exactly get better year to year.
    In 2019, I did it four times. 2020 season was lost to covid.

    May have to change the magic number to something a little bigger next year.
    Not that I'm of any age to be making plans for "next year."
    As a guy, I have 214 committed to memory, because I would never hear the end of it if I forget valentine's day

    Once I've memorized many digits in pi. Now as an oldfart I've forgotten. LOL.

    I have no clue how he does this.

    They can get touchy that way.

    Once had a beagle that got to her candy and ate just about all of it.
    That didn't do his movements any good. [I look at his urn with love every day.] At least the Gestapo still had the flowers.

    Yeah!!! Why is that us guys can remember facts and numbers and never remember the anniversaries and birthdays of our wives, gfs and mothers?

    Those numbers are the MOST important numbers in the universe to remember to keep you alive.

    The US also standardized our railroad track gauge (4 feet 8-1/2 inches) to match the gauge of Roman Chariot wheels.

    True story.

    I always consider my anniversary date at least as important as Planck's constant.

    I think I might have heard of something like that. But I wonder if it's a Mason thing today. Our Founding Fathers were Freemasons. You can see the designs everywhere in Washington, D.C. The numbers were very, very important to them.

    Like for example 32 or 33rd degree.
