The Mini reached 22,222 miles this afternoon - just a cool number since my brother on his mission turns 21 this month on the 22nd (and he was born at 22:22 according to family folklore) - Happy Early Birthday, Nate!
It's not folklore, it's a reality. Born at 10:22 (22:22 military time) on May 22nd. And believe me, I wasn't holding out for the 22nd, I would have welcomed him with open arms anytime after May 1st.
Happy Holidays!
