As I wrote in a previous post Friday the 13th is not a very ominous day for me. On the other hand the full moon is a warning to me. It is ominous. I always watch out for a full moon. I know from experience that it can wreak havoc.
From historical accounts I'm familiar with Friday the 13th has been viewed as an ominous day because that is the day when the Knights Templar were ordered to be arrested at the behest of the French king Philip IV who was terribly indebted to them. Rather than pay his bills he blasphemed them and accused them of heresy, black magic, and scandalous sexual rituals. The Holy Roman Catholic church, my mother church, went out after them relentlessly.
They were all captured, to the very last one, including their Grand Master Jacques de Molay. They were horrifically tortured and burned at the stake. Thanks to a dead beat French king, Philip the IV.

This would not be the last time that France would deal a dreadful traitor's blow.
Almost five hundred years later, in 1803, France would sell its Louisiana Territory to the fledgling United States and thereby bring an end to a French and Spanish empire in the New World. If Napoleon had fought for its territories instead of selling out to the United States, the New World would be a French and Spanish empire, Napoleon made it Anglo Saxon.

I fuck'n swear, France is a piece of shit!
Hm? I realize I edit my posts quite a bit. Even a lot. But that's because I post the best when let thoughts come to me and simply type away.
