Jimmie, so there you are! I was worried where you might have run off to, young pup. I was just going to call the pound! You are correct about the need for dropping the first zero. I was going to say the same myself, but you beat me to it.

02-02-02 is fine if you are writing as its done in the US military. The first 0 before single numbers keeping naughty ones from changing the number ... and BTW the military does dates as in Europe day/month/year
So 02-02-02 is second of February 2002.
In the Massachusetts lottery on New Year the winning daily number was 2002 ... no kidding! So many winners they each ended up with about $275.

"Oh, two... Oh, two. Oh! Two!" -- Now there's romance in those numbers by far outweighing the winning of any lottery!
Side by side..........

The first zero actually IS a naught.

Everywhere but the US(??) folks use the day then month then year.
On the strength of this, I make the first palindromic day as being 20 02 2002
