Time to party in Hell, MI 6/6/06. Devil wants your soul; merchants $$$

Me? I am not superstitious. However, it is curious that She who Shall Not Be Named releases her new "book" tomorrow. Hmmm...



HELL, Mich. (AP) - They're planning a hot time in Hell on Tuesday. The day bears the date of 6-6-06, or abbreviated as 666 - a number that carries hellish significance. And there's not a snowball's chance in Hell that the day will go unnoticed in the unincorporated hamlet 60 miles west of Detroit.

Nobody is more fired up than John Colone, the town's self-styled mayor and owner of a souvenir shop.

"I've got '666' T-shirts and mugs. I'm only ordering 666 (of the items) so once they're gone, that's it," said Colone, also known as Odum Plenty. "Everyone who comes will get a letter of authenticity saying you've celebrated June 6, 2006, in Hell."

. . .According to the town's semiofficial Web site, there are two leading theories about how Hell got its name.

The first holds that a pair of German travelers stepped out of a stagecoach one sunny afternoon in the 1830s, and one said to the other, "So schoene hell" - roughly translated as, "So bright and beautiful." Their comments were overheard by some locals and the name stuck.

The second holds that George Reeves was asked after Michigan gained statehood what he thought the town he helped settle should be called, and reportedly replied, "I don't care, you can name it Hell if you want to." The name became official on Oct. 13, 1841.

I was a fairly young nurse and I never gave the date a thought, but I was charting on a patient at 7:00 p.m. and as I was writing it I was struck with the beauty of those numbers...

Beautiful magical numbers, but nothing extraordinary happened that day. And tomorrow will go by, I'm sure, with the same legacy. I do believe in God, but He picks the numbers.

Drunk driving is my guess. You need to get Ann out of your thoughts on an evening in June, the greatest month of the year. I hope this helps.
