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!
In Banff, you can easily snowboard or ski up to the beginning of May. If you get the right conditions, you can do so in your shorts (well with a little beer)
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.
I rode my bike to work today, but I would love to go (snowboard) riding again. Regardless of the conditions, at least you have the option of going to the mountains.
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!
I ride to work too, about 3km. I ride year-round. This year there wasn't any winter to speak of so it was very easy! Last year was much more challenging. I do bail and take the bus if it's actively blizzarding or something.
I ride 8kms. Don't even break a sweat. There's a cool park nearby I'm hoping to even ride during lunch just to get some vitamin D. I miss snowboarding in fresh pow though and spring was the best time.
