March 2020’s Eventful Week
This coming week has a few potentially ominous days to it…
- Mar 8 – Time change (and all the increased accidents that come with it)
- Mar 9 – Supermoon
- Mar 13 – Friday the 13th
- Mar 14 – pi Day (one good thing)
- Mar 15 – Ides of March
In Nova Scotia, where I am, I would also put bets on getting our first case of COVID-19 in the province, if someone offered such odds.
Anything else I’m missing this week that could make it a bad week?
