Friday the 13th

The most bad luck I can come up with for today is:
DW went to our grocery store and they were out of my favorite seafood-salad!

They were out here too last time wife went to the store. Good stuff

I stayed home All Day.

Was it crab spelled like krab?
You shouldn't eat that stuff.

I guess by 'Krab' you mean p ollock and whiting (fish), which is what is in Wal-Mart's seafood salad.
It is food from the sea, so that makes it 'seafood', right?
16oz tub for only $4.98 ! ...but I will never go to Wal-Mart.

Yup. I excommunicated myself from the catholic church as soon as I got out of catholic high school and joined the Navy.

Ditto that

I heard that they were taking money to help "road travelers" from city to city, and the Catholic Church felt that was taking money away from them. I think their heads were posted on posts on the four corners of the city or something.

The Templars gained a ridiculous amount of wealth and treasure during the Crusades. They took that wealth and established what amounted to a banking empire all over Europe. They invented a forerunner to what we think of as a checking account. You deposited real money with them back in Europe and got a voucher. Then you went on your pilgrimage to the Middle East and when you got there you found the Templars and presented your voucher. They'd give you the amount you were entitled to. Meanwhile, they were using the real money to invest and get richer.

Eventually they controlled much of the wealth in Europe. The king of France was heavily indebted to them, and conspired with the Catholic Church to destroy them and seize their wealth. The love of money is the root of all evil, and they FAFO'd...

This evening: Got lost by car on college campus. Parked and got lost on foot on college campus. I’ve been there before but it’s been a while. Didn’t bother to keep trying to track down the building…would have arrived to event too late and missed the one performance I was there for. And this little piggy cried wee wee wee all the way home.
Felt bad at work, had to leave early.
Certain areas at work were flooded today and I’ve got to deal with it tomorrow.
