Weather ~ Full Moon/Friday the 13th ~ Karen Blair ~ Quinoa & Veggies

Good 51º 20% possibility of rain today. First thing this morning it was raining on my mountain, but has stopped and don't know if it will get all the way down here.

LOL, I did get my truck washed yesterday! Windy all yesterday afternoon. Some up to 34mph. Tree fell on Rogue River Hwy about mile post 11 and 3100 people including all the businesses in Rogue River were without power for several hours. Fortunately the signals were still working when I passed through about 2pm and then this occurred about 2:30pm. The FedEx guy was here about 3:30 and told me without the signals working the traffic was insane. Nobody paid any attention to what was happening and drove like idiots. Duh, this is Orygun! They all drive like idiots!

Ok, Friday the 13th... and a full moon! OMG. Stay in. Don't handle anything that goes 'bang' or is sharp!

Full Moon on Friday the 13th When is Full Moon on Friday the 13th? What dates will Friday the 13th and a Full moon be on the same days? It does not happen very often! Here are past and future Friday the 13th days with full moons Friday Mar 13th 1903 Friday Oct 13th 1905 Friday Jun 13th 1919 Friday Jan 13th 1922 Friday Nov 13th 1970 Friday Jul 13th 1984 Friday Feb 13th 1987 Friday the 13th Trivia: Many buildings and skyscrapers do not have a 13th floor. Many people will not allow 13 people at the table. If there is exactly 13 people present, a second table is set up. Skippers would not go out to sea with a crew of 12. Including the captain, that made 13 people. Ancient Mayans of Central America were the most advanced culture in all of the Americas. They considered the number 13 sacred. Like any other special or wacky day, we encourage you to fully embrace the day and have fun with it. But, don't cower in your room in fear of this day. You'd miss all of the fun and excitement! Origin of Friday the 13th: In biblical references, it is believed that Cain killed Abel on Friday the 13th. We are not sure how this was determined, as calendars were unlikely to have been in existence back then. We do know with certainty, the ancient Babylonian Code of Hammurah omitted the #13 in it's list of laws. Written in 1,700 B.C., it suggests ancient Babylonians considered the #13 to be unlucky.

Yesterday was errand day, water day. Dude needed some more "Shed Relief" so had to got to PetCo. I needed a couple groceries, so to Safeway. Also needed some blank DVDs, so to Staples.

Dinner was quinoa, cooked in my rice cooker with Trader Joe's spices and garlic. Cut up mini squash and tomatoes and sauteéd them in olive oil and added Goya Chipotle Marinade for spice. Added in the quinoa and some yellow/white shredded cheese and some Parmesan. OMGOOOOD!!! Vegan but the quinoa is protein.

Happy TGIF. Stay safe!  All I know. Nuff said. Ciao.
