11 January 11

Today's date (1/11/11 or 11/1/11) is the second time this century when the date contains only ones. We get two more chances to celebrate that in November. I have no appropriate tie for that occurrence, but I do have a great "absurd snowmen" tie that fits the weather very well. Some of the figures are an urban snowman (covered with graffiti), an alien snowman (with the usual pointed head and slit eyes), a snowdeer (with antlers), a middle-aged snowman (with a huge overhanging gut), and the snow clones (three identical snowmen).
