Coincidence?

As a Christian, I've never been superstitious. Yesterday we were on our way to a horse show at Brookville, which is north of Dayton. We were about 20 miles from our destination when my otherwise faithful Jeep Wrangler decided to go on strike at a stop light and suddenly stopped running. Since both the tow truck operator and I diagnosed the problem as likely electronic, we had to get a tow 167 miles back home. It was pouring down rain as we waited over 2 ½ hours for the tow truck to show up. Fortunately, I wasn't hauling our 2 horses we presently show. Our trainers have been hauling and showing our horses for us the last few years. (Arthritis and MS have now limited both of us from showing our horses ourselves). In over 43 years of driving, this was the first time I had ever ridden in a tow truck. At least it was an adventure for me as I counted my blessings. During the 4 hour trip home, it suddenly occurred to me that it was Friday the 13th! Was this just a coincidence? Hmmm, you have to wonder?????? :-)
