The number 13 has been associated with bad luck for ages, leading many to take pretty dramatic precautions to avoid the number. From architects designing buildings without 13th floors to people adding items to register totals that end in 13 cents, the number continues to strike worry and fear into superstitious individuals around the world.
Myself, I have made this my lucky number and it has been that all my life. Friday the 13th has been no different for me than any other day of the year except that now I will always try to place a geocache on that date every year. This year I had two to work with but I was able to place one this month instead of waiting until December to do so. What luck. Better to place one during the end of summer than near the beginning of winter.
