2AdefenderBorn under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Hard luck and trouble
Been my only friend
I've been on my own
Ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
You know, I wouldn't have no luck at all
I can't read
I didn't know how to write
My whole life has been
One big fight
Born under a bad sign
I've been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I say, I wouldn't have no luck at all
That ain't lie, ah, oh
You know, if it wasn't for bad luck
I wouldn't have no kinda luck
If it wasn't for real bad luck
I wouldn't have no luck at all
You know wine
And women is all I crave
A big legged woman
Gonna carry me to my grave
Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck
I tell ya, I wouldn't have no luck at all
Yeah, I'm a bad luck boy
Been havin' bad luck all of my days, yes
The late great Albert King

Patrick-SP2022When we moved to Texas back in 2007, we closed on the house we bought on Friday the 13th.
We were also assigned box #13 at the community mailbox.
It gives us a chuckle when we talk about it.
Obviously, we are not superstitious.

tk13The number 13 has had significance, both good and bad (mostly good), for me my entire life. I am the 13th child in my family, my wife and I had our first date on Friday the 13th. My boys always chose 13 as their jersey number for sports, and 13 generally appears in some form in my email addresses, screen names (look over there <-----), etc.

Expert308Today is my brother's birthday.
My employer just informed us that due to Covid-19 we're all going to be required to telecommute for at least the next 2 weeks. I hate telecommuting. Too many distractions at home - dogs, toys, Netflix, neighbors' dogs, neighbors' kids, ...
And the pest control guy is coming today to inspect the house for insect infestations.

ensigmaticI just helped with the carrot cake my wife is making by doing much of the carrot grating. I managed not to grate part of my hand in the process, so: So far, so good

hairy2dawgHmmmm..... it's our pay day today.

IcabodIt’s snowing. It never snows here in March. (Oh the pups love zooming in it)
.......
Oh, they closed the schools and my granddaughter will need some daycare. (Wait she and I can get into trouble)
Oh, my daughter’s worksite is closing. (Wait, she’s still getting pay. The company is one where they are providing remote access. “Because if you’re working, you’ll not be out getting exposed” staff has said “score!”)
Oh, the grocery shelves are bare and it’s going to be hard to get prescriptions (Wait, we restocked our medications and have a 3 month supply. Wait, we shop at Costco and are stocked up. Plus there are the long term prepper supplies.
Think I’ll warm up the reloading press.

ugeestaI went to Home Depot to get some TP and the shelves were bare...... so I picked up a bunch of electrical components so I could add more outlets around my basement.
