Happy Friday the 13th 2014!

Not only is today the 13th on a Friday, but it is also a full moon. The last time that happened was October 2000. The next time that happens is supposed to be August 2049. Let's hope the bikers in Port Dover, Ontario keep an extra careful eye out for werewolves! Yes, it's the oft repeated Friday the 13 motorcycle rally in the town of Port Dover. They've been doing it with some number of people every Friday the 13th since November 1981. It's supposed to be the second biggest single-day motorcycle rally in the world; or the biggest depending on who you talk to. People come from all over North America.

I could not find a good solid tally for the number of attendees today. NorfolkToday.ca reports a vague figure of over 100,000 in attendance. Some recent years' estimates have gone as high as one hundred and seventy thousand in attendance. Pretty awesome for a place with about six thousand residents to the area under normal circumstances.

The next Friday the 13th isn't until February 2015! Enjoy what's left of it!

P.S.: In the original Friday the 13th movie it was a full moon as well!
