BML Friday: Friday the 13th

When I was a student athlete, as difficult as that may be to imagine now, I had superstitions. They varied though the years, but they were there. I would wear a sweatband when playing basketball.  If we had a winning streak, I would not wash the sweatband until we lost. If I was having a particularly good week of practice, I’d wear the same socks without washing them for the week. Fortunately that one didn’t last long.

I am, at times, accused of being too regimented- anal- if you will. While I reject the anal label, I do like a regimented lifestyle. Is that a superstition? 

With today being Friday the 13th, a day that is surrounded by superstition (and the occasional scary movie) I thought we’d explore superstitions and share those we may or may have practiced from time to time. And if you want to throw in a favorite scary movie, I’m OK with that, too.

 In our usual fare, pilots are frustrated with the FAA, but not for the reason you may think. When you hear it, you’ll be aggravated, too.

Locally, Sheriff Wayne Ivey has been defending deputies who dealt with a knife wielding man in a less severe way than they could have. Firearms could, some would argue should, have been the answer. They were criticized anyway. Let’s play a round of YOU BE THE COP. What would you have done? 

By the way, knocking on wood won’t help you in this situation.
