    Friday the 13th.

    I just realized that today is Friday the 13th. and thought I'd mention that for all those that are superstitious.
    I don't happen to be of that persuasion. In fact I was born on Friday the 13th. So have a good one. Be careful of those black cats and ladders.

    The news this morning said why it is commonly believed to be bad luck on Friday the 13th. Jesus died on Friday the 13th on a year that had 3 Friday the 13ths. Guess what?...... This year has 3 Friday the 13ths, the most that is possible in any year. Amazing what I learn between youtube videos.
    I came into this world kicking, screaming, and covered in someone elses blood. I plan to go out the same way.

    Guess what. Thursday the 12th is just as rare and has just as much numeralogical significance as Friday the 13th. Which is exactly - gasp - NONE!

    Happy Birthday!

    My Friday the 13th started poorly, having to take my GF into the ER at 1:30am She's doing well as of now though, so here's hoping the rest of the day keeps on par with that!

    I'm not certain whether or not I'm superstitious... -Brad

    Married on 6/13/58

    No problem here. We were to be married on 6/13/58. My intended forgot her birth certificate when she came out from TN so we had to go to down town Los Angeles to the Hall of Records. The clerk told us that Friday was normally a very busy day but because of the date no one was there but us. She made one short phone call and gave us the go-ahead. This June will be fifty four with no problems. Happy Birthday!

    Number Game???

    My niece was seven years old on July 7, 1977. Just wish they'd had the lottry back then. I would have gotten her to play a few numbers for me. LOL.

    But then Friday the 13th is just like any other day around here. Cold and can't go shooting. BC

I've got meds if I need them, but I'm gonna have some rebel yell. Hope your GF is doing okay. Happy birthday Winelover.

    Well - I guess, for me, Friday the 13th is a lucky day. Oct 13, 2005 (a Friday), Doc Ewy took a chainsaw to my sternum and did bypass surgery - and now my cardiologist is bored with me, has me on an annual schedule!

    Yesterday I started breaking in a new Lee 8mm mold I got for a 98 sporter I bought in a moment of weakness. I drilled out the GC shank on one cavity with a new 21/64 drill, so I have a choice of boolits. HS problems, but I expanded the cases I have up to .338, then will size back down until the just chamber, and just shoot CB's for fun.

    And yesterday I took my GF to dinner, then the American Legion where we watched more old farts dance their brains out (I couldn't - knee is disputing me), I harmonized with new friend Harold to 'Memphis Tennessee' and 'Oh Lonesome Me', GF got in some boogy with Little Ed, and it was a dang good day.

    With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
    What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
    (I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)
