Oct 12 2023 - Is it Friday the 13th tomorrow

 

It is like sleeps before Christmas.  The Friday the 13th Port Dover website is counting down and it is only 17 hours to go.   Given the first Friday the 13th was in January, this will be a celebrated day - and the weather looks good, too. 

Friday the 13th can only occur three times in a single calendar year.  A leap year that starts on a Sunday has a  Friday the 13th in July.  That was way back in 2012 and not until 2040.  

When I think of it,  only June, July,  August  and September would be reliable Friday the 13ths for the Port Dover celebration.  Next year's event is June, and in 2025, it is September - so looking positive for the celebration.

Can you imagine such a variable schedule for events?  Maybe it is part of the allure.  

All the Friday the 13th jokes have a place at this event.  Here are a few: 

What might a restaurant serve to the bikers tomorrow?

A good Friday the 13th pasta - Fettuccine Afraid-O.

Don't worry if there is a tear in the leather jacket as seamstresses or tailor on Friday the 13th - know a lot about superstitchins.

And what about dreams at the Friday the 13th party?  - It would be a horse in armour chasing a biker - It would be a Knightmare.

What sort of parties does the Town of Port Dover organise on Friday the 13th?  Search parties.
 


I stopped by Charles Daley Park earlier in the week, and the colour of the locusts didn't compare to this picture.  October is very windy at the lake, and often the leaves blow off so there's not much of a show.

And then one can always create the Autumn display in Photoshop.
