Then my boss pulls in and told me there is a man laying by the side of the road. We walked back out there and a guy had already stopped, looked upset. We called the police because this was a dead man that had been hit by a car. He was hit so hard it knocked him out of his boots and clothes. State troopers told me that the man must have been hit in the wee hours of the morning. It is classified as a hit and run.

One of our trucks rolled over and has traffic backed up on the interstate and HWY.90 as I am typing. The driver is being transported to the hospital.

And I have been told it was MY turn to go get lunch! :cry:


WOW. That's horrible. :cry: :(

We were towing the truck. The load shifted and both trucks rolled.

No bad luck to report, personally speaking.

But check out this story! Friday the 13th is mentioned in the article. Of course since this is a wx board, we wouldn't be too terribly disappointed to have winter arrive early. Sad that at least 3 people died.

Ooops, I see we're already discussing this Buffalo snowstorm, on the winter board:

Why see Friday the 13th as a bad thing? Once or twice a year we have an excuse for everything we screw up! :lol:

I have more excuses. As a Cuban-American, from my Hispanic heritage the bad day is Tuesday the 13th, and from my naturalized American side is Friday the 13th.

Next year I have:

February 13th, Tuesday.

March 13th, Tuesday.

April 13th, Friday.

July 13th, Friday.

November 13th, Tuesday.


Five days in 365 in which I can blame the day for my faults. HA HA HA (evil laugh!!!)

If you forget about Friday the 13th, bad luck won't come to you.

Believe me, I'm not even a bit superstitious. For me it's just another day around the Sun!!!

But you remembered it. Otherwise you wouldn't have posted the info. :wink:

It seems to work all the time. Weird thing is, I always remember Friday the 13th. And something always goes terribly wrong.

However, out of all the Friday the 13ths, I have to say this has been one of my better ones.
