1000 or one thousand is the natural number following 999 and preceding 1001. In most English-speaking countries, it is often written with a comma separating the thousands unit: 1,000.
It may also be described as the short thousand in historical discussion of medieval contexts where it might be confused with the Germanicconcept of the “long thousand” (1200).
- 1000 is the smallest number that generates three primes in the fastest way possible by concatenation of decremented numbers (1000999, 1000999998997, and 1000999998997996995994993 are prime). The criterion excludes counting the number itself. Wikipedia
The blog has been an interesting exercise so far. As I first said, I mainly began it to force myself to journal daily. Someone, can’t remember whom, said a writer is someone who writes every day. A truism for certain.
It is heartening to see that some find it “read-worthy”.
As retirement from education opens its yaw enticingly, but also menacingly, before me I must continue to perform acts that define me. In our society, we are known mostly by what we do. When we first meet someone, it’s “what do you do for a living?” which usually issues as our initial question, how we size someone up, get to “know” them.
So, here’s to a thousand…I guess I’ll keep going. Open a few doors and see where they lead.
