Happy Friday the 13th

Here's hoping everyone survived the dreaded Friday the 13th. I usually have a pretty good FT13 and today was no exception. Lots of cutting machinery all day and I can still use all of my 10 and-a-half digits.

The things that people are superstitious or ritualistic about is a menage of psychosis that we'd need some outide assisance on. Making sure you don't close a knife that someone else opened. Three on a match, that's a goocher. Telling a performer (or a trials rider) to break a leg. Add your favorite in the comments......

I was many times the only squirrel on the ball team that didn't mind the number 13 uniform. That number is just a number. But, that's not to say that there weren't any uniform superstitions in the Adcock locker room. If we won we didn't wash the uniform until we lost a game, lest we wash all the winning luck out of it. A winning streak could get downright funky, don't ya' know.

HERE's an interesting read at snopes.com (the Urban Legend guys) about the possible origins of the phobias concerning the number 13 and Friday's.

Have a good weekend........
