A bit of whimsy today, October 24, 2025, or, as I like to write it, especially in file names: 20251024. YYYYMMDD, and if you alphabetize the files, these dates will come out in chronological order. So what? Stay tuned…

I missed a very interesting date last month, September 16, which, if written conventionally in the United States, would be 9/16/25. Three perfect squares, and they happen to be the squares of the sides of a 3, 4, 5 right triangle.

I apologize for failing to point that out. So let’s make up for it today:

20251024

This time, a pair of perfect squares: 2025 = 45-squared, and 1024 = 32-squared. Pretty cool. (It happens one more time this year. Stay tuned.)

And there’s a verse for that…

One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike… (Romans 14.5, ESV)

We’ll get back to a more serious topic tomorrow.
