I read somewhere a long time ago that Friday the 13th was an arbitrary date picked to execute prisoners in the Middle Ages. Not sure if that's true, but I guess that would make some sense that a date would get a bad rep.
Now, not all bad things happen on this date. My Mom won a contest on the 13th, I won the elementary school candy sales for the most sold one year & my daughter was born on the 13th.
I look at it, along with black cats, as good luck. Just me.

I had to run over to the convenience store for the morning paper, coffee and a muffin. Came home, parked in the driveway because I was going back out shortly and when I got out of my truck, I saw a big dog kind of jogging up the sidewalk and he was coming towards me. I wondered what was his intention. He was panting and looked hot. No leash, but he did have a collar on with a tag.
The dog came into my driveway and I said Hi fella. He jumps up on me and when I pushed him off, he took a bunch of skin from my arm with him. He had large claws. I bled pretty bad and before I went into the garage to get a wet rag, I saw a maybe 10 year old boy running and yelling for Socrates. I guessed it was his dog and later found out it was. He had the leash in his hand. I asked him why did he take the leash off of his dog. He said because the dog wanted to run.
I took down his name and gave him a paper with my name and address on it and asked him to ask his dad to come see me. I am a nice guy and unless it develops into an infection, I plan on letting the incident slide, otherwise, if an infection appears, I may expect him to pay any medical charges that my insurance doesn’t pay, which I doubt if there will be any. It was very painful when I washed it off with peroxide.
