OMGOSH... Friday the 13th !!!
Good 43º very cloudy morning. What a difference from yesterday at 28º!! We
didn't warm up any more that the high 60ºs.
Yesterday I took Dude into the Southern Oregon Veterinary Center for his
check up on his stitches.
Dr. Fugazzi took out the stitches and left in the staples. I will have to
take him back next week. There is a slight infection, so he got more
pills!
In the lobby there was a gentleman with a WWII Veteran hat on
so I shook his hand and thanked him for
his service.
I had a little conversation with he and his wife. He is 93 years old and
was in the Army Air Corps. Nice people! And in fact, they always go to the same
vet, Dr. Dickey in Rogue River that I go to. But, had an emergency with one of
their cats so were at the Vet Emergency.
Today is the birthday of

October 13th
Date When Celebrated : Occurs one to three times a year, when the
13th of the month falls on a Friday
2017: January, October
2018: April, July
2019: September, December
2020: March, November
Are you superstitious? Then, Friday the 13th is a day you may look forward
to with fear! Friday the 13th, is an unlucky day, a day when bad things can
happen. Whatever you do, don't walk under a ladder, and don't let a black cat
cross your path on this day.
Throughout most of recorded history, the number 13 has been seen as an
unlucky number. If you live in fear of the number 13, you suffer from
Triskaidekaphobia. More phobias of
interest.
Historically, and perhaps a bit oddly in today's world, Friday has been
viewed as an unlucky day of the week. We find this hard to fathom. After all,
Friday is TGIF!! However, in days gone by, when you put the unlucky day of
Friday, together with the unlucky #13, many people believe only bad things can
happen.
Interestingly, there is a sizable number of optimists, who embrace Friday
the 13th and the number 13. They shrug off the superstition and go buy lottery
tickets with the number 13 in it.
For many who never gave it a thought, Jason in the movie "Friday, the 13th"
(1980) made believers in the fearfulness of this day.
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!
