Ashtead's Journal: Another year

I can now say my age is the same as the telephone country code for Sweden... Just upgraded from Denmark's, and will be Norway's next year.

This is also a semi-prime, a composite number consisting of two distinct prime factors. This is not a very rare number, there are 30 of these below 100.

I got some books, so I'll be away reading...

Happy Birthday

As the title says: "Happy Birthday to you".

Thanks! As usual, it doesn't feel much different from the day before to the day after, but it is like the odometer in a car going from 199999 to 200000, there's only another kilometer or mile of actual difference.

Nice pictures, the "Speed week 2007" one with the hills and the salt flat that looks like water, is really memorable. Isn't driving in three inches of brine on top of the salt really hard on the cars? To me, salt plus water plus iron or steel becomes rust in no time. We see that happen every win

Yeah, I spent $10 at the car wash getting out all of the salt from underneath the car after getting back into town...

happy birthday

[Bill Dog]

I'm not far behind, only an Austria, UK, and Denmark [1areacodes...ycodes.com]. Time flies.

Re:

[Ashtead]

Thanks!

I've been presenting my age here in the "birthday JEs" in some kind of context. For a while I could refer to the answer to the question about life, the universe and everything but now there are the Europeian country codes to last me for a little while. And then there are prime numbers, prime powers, semi-primes, and other just regular composite numbers, so I'm not afraid of running out.
