A day for the electric lines!

One of the more random anniversaries for you today! Today, and November 18th annually, is Electric Lines Day 電線の日. The reason for the date is that the three one digits (1) of 11/18 represent the three type of wires involved; bare wire, communication line and power line. And the 8 of the 18th represents infinity.

The Japan Electric Lines Manufacturer Association created the anniversary in order to let people know the importance of electric lines, a "lifeline" of modern society. They  deliver electricity, convey information, enable Internet and support a safe and convenient life. We often take them for granted until there is a power outage! 

This anniversary is a day to support the role of such electric lines and the people involved in the manufacture and supply, as well as feel grateful for electricity and communication in the modern world.
