City Mouse: It's Also a Prime Number

City Mouse

"That thing is a trap," said City Mouse. "The minute you touch the cheese something comes down on your head and you're dead." The little Country Mouse looked at the trap, and at the little City Mouse. "If you'll excuse me," he said, "I think I will go home. I'd rather have barley and grain to eat in peace than have sugar and dried prunes and cheese and be frightened to death all the time!" So the little Country Mouse went back to his home, and there he stayed all the rest of his life.

It's Also a Prime Number

It occurred to me today that eight days remain until that day, the day, and maybe that is also why things have been a bit fuzzy lately.

I will post about the concert and the rest of my new york time soon, but perhaps this week will otherwise be dedicated to the upcoming year.

To begin. Thirty gets all the credit, right? But there's got to be something special about thirty-one...

Thirty-one is:

The number of days in the months January, March, May, July, August, October and December.

The code for international direct dial phone calls to the Netherlands.

A card game.

The number of flavors of Baskin Robbins.

Historical years: 31 A.D., 31 B.C. or 1931.

Turkish slang for masturbation ("otuzbir").

Those were courtesy of Wikipedia. There has to be something more significant about thirty-one than frozen dairy deserts, right?
