All those 29's are weird!
Indeed they are!
2+9=11 (the 11th month)
2x9=18 (the 18th day)
2-9= -7 (Negative Luck?)
2??9=.22222222222 (22?)
In numerology, the numerological value of my last name is 22.
again, 11-18 is 322nd day of the year, said to be "National Occult Day"
I don't know if I am lucky or not.

I love Gordon Lightfoot. I actually studied the wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald a little. There is an old legend of the Witch of November that has taken the lives of many on the gitcheegoomie (Lake Superior). Love it.The Witch of November is a critical mass of wind coming from north,south, east and west over the Lake and it happens occasionally. Very Scorpio...
IS, Did you get to field the actual site of the wreck?
Gordon's an awesome musician and this song is such an excellent tribute to those lives lost.
The arrangement, performance and production quality is just awesome. One of those gems.
I have a friend who lived in Wisconsin when the tragedy occured. His birthday is October 20.
He and I were Transcontinental Team drivers (truck drivers) back in the early mid 90s.
He's the only co-driver that I did NOT happen want to murder.
(living with a perfect stranger inside the cab of a truck is worse than a marriage to the wrong person.)
As a retired driver, I still have a lot of respect for everyone in the transportation industries.
Whether it's on the great lakes, on and off the road, on the rails, the seven seas, in the air and in space
It's an elite group of industries interconnected that is bigger than the armed forces, yet doesn't have
the governmental recognition of the military arm of government though it has it's own deadly hazards.
A lot of unsung heroes that move the work of still more unsung heroes in the factories and the fields.
I am truly humbled, yet pleased to have been a part of it, literally turnin' the wheels of progress.
I've seen so much in my specific field, I couldn't begin to list. I'll just say.. look at everything.

Hi Mr Firebird. 🙂The answer is no I didn't actually deep lake dive or anything. Just read about it. I thought the whole concept of a Great Witch (aka November Witch) was awesome, though.
Yes, indeed, "The Witch Of November" was a very clever choice of words used to describe that weather pattern.

Gordon Lightfoot
Born November 17 1938
Edmund Fitzgerald Tragedy
Date: Nov. 10 1975
Lives lost: 29
I was born in Maine on the 322nd day of the year: Nov. 18 1969 @ 2:30 AM or 0230 hours.
My children's maternal Grandfather's birthday: Nov. 10 1938 - (d. 2-29 2012)
My old truck (18 wheeler) fleet unit tractor number: 29
(I drove this truck when I worked for a company called "Clipper Exxpress" -
have you ever heard of the Cutty Sark? It is a "Clipper Ship")
I love maritime subjects: ships and storms, which, I tend to identify with, when combined.
This fascination began 10 years before I drove old 29.
A very pivotal point in my life occured in a town that my children, their mother, grandparents
and aunt and uncle and cousins would move to and where, one day, my grandson would be born.
My Grandson lives on highway 229 not far from this same town.
I can play the drums.
My girl's mother loves to read Stephen King novels.
I think he is also from Maine and writes a lot of his stories are set in Maine.
Just very strange.
Oh... and Hello all.
That Scorpio season is almost here again and I thought I would come early.
