Advice for Surviving Friday the Thirteenth
Today is Friday the Thirteenth. Do not do any of the following, all of which will compound your bad luck:
1. Allow a black cat to cross your path.
2. Walk under a ladder.
3. Light three of anything on a single match.
4. Break a mirror.
5. Spill any salt.
6. Open an umbrella indoors.
7. Say "What's the worst that could happen?"
8. Dial a phone number containing three sixes in a row.
9. Vote Republican.
10. Vote Democratic.
Be careful out there. You have Cartoon Saturday and Poetry Sunday to look forward to.
Have a good day. More thoughts coming.

Those ten things sound doable, especially since there's no primaries today.
Still, I'm going to hedge my bet by tossing a coin into a well.
We should think about doing what some hotels do with the 13th floor: eliminate the 13th if it falls on a Friday. I could like with March or July 32nd.
Just stay in bed today.
I made the mistake of saying #7 and it wasn't Friday the 13th.
After a disastrous move I said it out loud - then the roof collapsed from all the heavy snow.
I no longer will utter that phrase again because I don't want it answered.
Be it the 13th or not!
The weather here finally has no rain forecasted for today. It's a trick to try an get me to go outside. It's not going to work.
The day is half over. Good deal.
