It is snowing, slowly but surely. BTW, we started watching Vikings last week as soon as we were done with The Wire (Season 1).

“The numbers 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, and 999 are all evenly divisible by 37, leaving no remainder.” (via @pickover) Using base 10 notation, a three-digit number, say $aaa$, can be written as $100\cdots a + 10\cdot a + a = a \cdot (100 + 10 + 1) = a \cdot 111$. Clearly, 111 is a divisor of $aaa$ ($111 = 37\times 3$), but also of 222, 333, … Hence, all three-digit numbers that are multiple of 111 will fit the bill.

Welcome to season 2 of The Killing! Also, I just had to reboot my Macbook–Mojave upgrade–after 37 days uptime with the same Emacs running in the background.

  The Jesus and Mary Chain, Darklands.

Season 1 of The Killing is over. Hopefully, the next season is about to start.

I discover Katie Melua years ago thanks to my aunt, and now I also happen to read a nice book, thanks to her again.
