66

66 is a mighty fine number!

Six-Six has all kinds of cool auspiciousness surrounding it:

• It's got hella symmetry.
• It looks like the opening of a clever quote.
• It works equally well upside down and reflected too.
• It's like having twins.
• Two 6's are Boxcars – the best outcome for a crapshoot.
• Add another 6 and you get triple-trouble + evoke a badass dude.
• It's a German card game.
• It's a film directed by Paul Weiland.
• It's a novel by Barry Levinson.
• It's a main-belt asteroid.
• It's a song by Lil Yachty, and a different one - with the same name - by Felo Le Tee + Myztro and others like the Afghan Whigs.
• And, it's a song from another time, about a famous road...

Route 66 - The Mother Road.

There's a cool illustrated Google Doodle about it:

It's a song with history, composed by Bobby Troup, first sung in 1946 by Nat King Cole in 1946 and by Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones, and by yadda yadda – the list is long.

... is also how long I've been on the Planet.
66 turns around the sun – what a trip!
(I'm getting dizzy).

As always, thanks for reading and indulging!
