In August 2014 an event you will never see again in your lifetime, or for another 823 years for that matter.....and the Chinese call it "Pocketful of Money"....phenomenon...

Next year in August there will be  5 Fridays', 5 Saturdays', and  5 Sundays'.......and based on Feng Shui supposed to be very lucky...

I have heard of one velly rucky gentleman of Jewish/Chinese extraction..he was named Ghengis Cohen I believe....biggrin

Check out next years calendar to prove I'm right...smile..Hoo Roo

.....and you will be a very crusty 893 years old next time it happens Gary......and no doubt your Ford Courier will be a wheelless hover craft, powered by jet propellsion and you will still be getting her ready for 'the big lap'..Lol...I think I'll just opt to put my wheelchair on the conveyor belt that goes right round the Australian Coastline at that time....with free camps every 10 kms.....and......
I must say you don't look 70 mate.....perhaps you did once.....Lol..
When I pointed out there were 5 Saturdays in August, my wife who works Saturdays, said "that's great I get to work 5 Saturdays straight"...female logic?.......the downside is having to attend Church 5 Sundays straight without a break......Hoo Roo
