The 13th day of the third month of the year of the OP


Last Friday we had spring for about two hours and then went directly into summer. Until this morning. Now it's spring again! Or maybe the beginning of winter............thank you global warming. Fifty nine degrees this morning and headed to below fifty for a day or two. Great walking morning and spent about three miles on the Cayce Riverwalk.

End of March and the striper run begins in the river, and thought that I would take a look as there are more boats and fishermen on the river. All looking to find the elusive Morone Saxatilis, striper, or rockfish. No such luck and the river is still brown from run off following the recent rains both here and upstate. Guess we'll have to wait a couple of weeks and in the mean time I should get the fly-fishing equipment ready. The accompanying photo is of a box of said fish.

FICTION AND FACT FROM SKIP'S ALMANAC OF GARBAGE KNOWLEDGE

The Knights Templar were a monastic military order founded in Jerusalem in 1118 C.E., whose mission was to protect Christian pilgrims during the Crusades. Over the next two centuries, the Knights Templar became extraordinarily powerful and wealthy. Threatened by that power and eager to acquire their wealth, King Philip secretly ordered the mass arrest of all the Knights Templar in France on Friday, October 13, 1307 - Friday the 13th
