Friday the 13th!

THAT would explain why the weather is so crappy that I can't go out and ride!

Hmmm. Decent weather here but I'm stuck at work! That's always the way, isn't it.

[Trekhawk]

Nice here too but my kids are on spring break so no riding for me. Now tomorrow when I can ride its suppose to rain aaagggggg

I don't think we had spring like weather since spring began. This is not a good way to begin the "season". In fact, this might last through Tuesday and beyond.

It always saddens me when women don't like Friday the 13th. The number 13 was considered lucky for women and used to represent femininity until western civilization came along with its patriarchy:

From about.com:

Other sources speculate that the number 13 may have been purposely vilified by the founders of patriarchal religions in the early days of western civilization because it represented femininity. Thirteen had been revered in prehistoric goddess-worshiping cultures, we are told, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The "Earth Mother of Laussel," for example — a 27,000-year-old carving found near the Lascaux caves in France often cited as an icon of matriarchal spirituality — depicts a female figure holding a cresent-shaped horn bearing 13 notches. As the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar with the rise of male-dominated civilization, it is surmised, so did the number 12 over the number 13, thereafter considered anathema.

Doesn't improve the weather any though.

Very interesting Ace. I've always liked the number 13. But I didn't know any of that stuff. I think I chose to like the number when I was a kid because my Mom hates it and I liked to drive her a little crazy in any way that I could.
