'BEWARE The Ides of March' the old crone said....

[Aplmac]

I'm superstitious about very few things

but have always had 'second thoughts' about Friday The 13th.

I've had a few messed-up things happen on various Friday, 13ths!

Today will go down in Cruise History

as THE DAY that most if not all? cruise lines bowed in deference to a virus

and cancelled operations for a month or three.

Friday 13th. of March 2020 - sounds like The Ides of March!

 

Verily I say unto thee....

Or doesn't in this case.

And what am I giving up for Lent?
The list is getting longer by the day.

April the 1st should prove interesting.

Right, I think only fools would expect Cruise ships to resume operations on 1st April

The "Ides of March" would be Sunday, March 15.

Thanks for the info

From my study of Latin, I learned about the Ides of March.  Unfortunately, Julius Caesar failed to heed the Oracle's warning to him.  

 

Am I superstitious about this date?  No.  But, I am cognizant of the historical relevance of the date.

Today is the Ides of March.

This "If March comes in like a lamb it goes out like a lion" thing is going a bit too far this year, don't you think?

In 1955 the due date for U.S. income taxes was changed from March 15 to April 15.

 

Coincidence?

It's the middle of the month of March that we are going to need to come out with some type of "catchy" phrase.  Restaurants and bars in Ohio are closing as of 9:00 P. M. Sunday (carry-out and delivery still available).  Noticing that the poster is from NYC, your Mayor has now closed your schools which he previously said he would not do.
