Another Friday the 13th....8.2 Earthquakes (happened a couple days ago) in the Phillipines off Sumatra
NO Tsunami this time thankfully....more tornados in Texas, Oklahoma

but in Port Dover, Ontario, every Friday the 13th is a reason to celebrate and gather...
this year the beer will be flowing and the tats visible everywhere.. April 13th and July 13th.

There is more "curse" in having to buy monthly transit passes/token from a hog-town booth ticket-collector (the bettter-way-not :nightmare: ) than having a black cat crossing your path!

Why not?! It won't be freezing cold, and I don't think the mountain will be slushy yet. So it should be good conditions, temperature-wise, with some powder to boot. And it's not like summer (and summer activities) are here yet! If I stay home, I'll be tromping through mud if I want to get outdoors.

Though I can understand if it seems odd to you. My Ontarian friend says it's been T-shirt weather out East.

snakes on a streetcar episode? :eek2:
Don't give carverman more ideas, lol.

Barwelle: it's a big country, but even so, yes, we have been having wacky weather everywhere.

Last month, Toronto smashed an all-time heat record temperature nearing 30c, but I was out of the country, so I missed that heatwave [was baking someplace else]. :biggrin:

Anyway, now it's a little crispier & just the way I like it!

I add some variety to this section, reduces the boredom..at least that is the intention.

That heatwave in March was nice but scary, since it's so unusual. Not sure if global warming has something to do with it....these 8.2 earthquakes occurring more frequently may be an omen...Mother Nature is not pleased with us..drilling holes everywhere, ruining the earth...I'm sure we will pay for it in the long run and it won't necessarily be on Friday the 13th!

Now for those interested in numbers. Friday the 13th in April again is 2018.

BTW..with all your superstitions...what's wrong with black cats? They are rather nice, I know of one, and I give him treats sometimes...
.now where did I put that "lucky rabbit's foot"? and my mojo? Friday the 13th..is it over yet? :biggrin:

Yup, can't deny it... it is wonderful to be within day trip distance of the mountains. And away from the smog and congestion and concentration of civilization that is T-dot. I know it's not all bad there, but it's too much for this westerner.

Props to you for cycling to work, FP. How long of a ride is it? Do you ride in the winter? I did when I was going to college, it was not a long ride through, 20mins at most. It was rough some days, but something to be proud of. Only fell once!

My ride is about 5km, so not too long. I don't ride during the winter although I do try to go as far as I can. Last December I rode up to Dec. 24.

I don't mind the cold, but if there is any snow/ice then I don't ride.
