Palindrome Dates

If you follow the traditional American format of mm/dd/yyyy for dates, then today, 7/10/2017 is "palindromic". The next date to follow this format will be 8/10/2018. Coincidentally, it also works for the mm/dd/yy format -- 7/10/17. If you follow the European format of dd/mm/yyyy, you're going to have to wait until October 7, 2017 -- which, you guessed it -- also comes out as 7/10/2017. PS. Yes, I know I've played fast and loose with leading zeroes.
