When I was a kid I had no end of trouble with mathematics. Those problems snowballed throughout elementary and secondary educations until after then Navy when I discovered I was a wiz with algebra with words.
So I became this 'natural' of an applications programmer doing primarily high level stuff until I branched out into AI with list processing using Franz and Common Lisp after a brief spate of Turbo Prolog.

My initial work in PL/1 made it all possible and indeed, during the xBase years I became a legend in my own mind. I learned how to shift datasets on the fly, cook books, and amass great volumes of statistical data like it was a walk in the park.
So today is the date of World Statistics Day. It went down for the first time in 2010. An international observance, it is celebrated every 5 years.
Though I don't see the reason for the increment, the "actual" next World Statistics Day will be celebrated on October 20 2020. I'm cool with this early trigger finger because it actually means something to me in all the democrat nothingness in my surroundings.
The statistics are telling on the democrats with their numbers diminishing steadily because of liars like Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, and Nadler. The party becomes it's own worst enemy.
