Friday Funnies

Fill 'er up

Did you know that the snow is truck away here in Nashua, NH ?

Just like in these photos. A front loader was filling dump trucks with buckets of snow.

Why? To save it for a hot summer.

Of course, this isn't true. However, it was interesting to watch this operation in the parking lot of a local supermarket yesterday. The snow was being cleared from customer parking.

Where was all this snow going ?

It was bring trucked and dumped a short distance to another parking lot. This one was formerly used by a movie theater, which closed a few years ago so the lot is unused now.

As some of you may know, today, is the first of three Friday the 13th dates in 2026. The next one comes soon on  March 13 and the last is on November 13. Three is the maximum dates possible in one year.

The fear of the number 13 is triskaidekaphobia (or friggatriskaidekaphobia) while the specific fear of Friday the 13th is paraskevidekatriaphobia. (whew)

The superstition is often linked to 13 guests at the Last Supper (with Judas the 13th) and the crucifixion of Jesus on a Friday. Other roots include Norse mythology, where thee trickster god Loki was the 13th guest at a feast. Studies have not shown that Friday the 13th is no more dangerous than any other day. 

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone 

Skip the 13th. Celebrate the 14th with someone special
