ghettosledding roman numeral 2.0

another round of snow, and another round of ghettosledding in Humboldt Park.

1.11.10

improvised sleds are highly encouraged...rubbermaid bins, cookie sheets, home made snowboards/skis, whatever your heart desires or mind can come up with. we have a few cheepo sleds kickin around that work just fine as well.

time 5pm

The hill is at Kedzie and Hirsch

Wouldn't 2000-2009 be the first decade of the third millenium? If 2010 isn't the first year of the second decade, which is?

Hmm. Whoda thought?
We use Arabic numbering, with ten, single digits: 0 through 9 — then, we move to double digits 10 through 99.
— I am too confused to start the new year this like this. It _it_ a new year, yes? hahaha —

The logic of new decade/millenium doesn't compute in my mind because...if the new millenium actually started in 2001, same as new decade 'starts' in 2011, then what is the implication of the year 'zero'?

I'm headed straight to the hill and will probably be arriving at about 6:15. You guys had better come get me if you are going to skip sledding and just sit inside and drink all night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
