"Picket Fence Day" (or "11-11-11")

The best time that occurred today was just after 11 AM this morning. Specifically, 11:11:11.11. Why? 'Cuz it was 11:11:11.11 11-11-11. The "ultimate" 'picket fence'. OK, OK, the "ultimate" picket fence occurred on this date, just after 11 AM in the year 1111. So it would have been 11:11:11.11 11-11-1111. But I wasn't alive back then, so I missed it. So today was "the next best thing".

But today is also Veterans' Day. So once again, I give my most heart-felt "thank-you" to all veterans, past and present, living and deceased. It is your sacrifices (including the ultimate sacrifice made) in the defense of our nation that makes it possible for us to be here, in the "Land of the Free" and "Home of the Brave". Know that you are appreciated. I salute you, wherever you are. *Salute*

God bless you.
