JUN 13, 25.. DUM DE DUM DUM.. FRIDAY THE 13TH.. CLICK BAITING..

Interesting. Today is the one, and today is the only, Friday the 13th in 2025.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be playing Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis, Indiana, today in game 4 of the NBA Championship Finals.

One will win and have: GOOD LUCK on Friday the 13th.

One will lose and have: BAD LUCK on Friday the 13th.

Yes Indeed! Patti and I will be eagerly “tuned in” to ABC Television this afternoon at 8:30 PM Eastern time to watch Game 4. 

Tid-Bit. To have a Friday the 13th, the first day of the month MUST be a Sunday!

We both were “surprised” that NATIONAL TODAY did not have a Friday the 13th Holiday.

But we always have Google and Wikipedia don’t we? For perhaps all you want to know and “then some” about Friday the 13th, check out the below Wikipedia link.

NATIONAL TODAY did have one Holiday we related to.

However, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, the local Axe Throwing venue you see below..

Axe Throwing has gone out of business. Sad to see any venue fail. But fail it did. The building now is home to a Physical Fitness Firm.

Gone. NOT forgotten by Patti and me.

CLICK BAITING on the Google Internet..

Click Baiting is a deceptive, online tactic, that uses sensationalized or misleading headlines and thumbnails to entice users to click on a link, often leading to content of dubious value or interest. It exploits curiosity and emotional responses to drive traffic and page views.

Does the above ever happen to you when you Google something you see online?

Below is a photo of Andy Reid.

Andy Reid is famous as THE Head Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs NFL Football Team.

When I saw the above photo I said to Patti : “I’ll bet that they are NOT talking about Andy Reid but some lesser coach!”

I asked Patti. “Should we open this and see?”  Patti said.. “Yes let’s see!”

I was correct! Andy Hill, Assistant Special Teams Coach is retiring from coaching. NOT Andy Reid.

Why does Google do this?  I believe to get “hits” on their website to attract and support advertisers.

This seems to happen quite often for me. Because of this frustrating practice, I have learned to be very careful about what I open on Google.

    As for the Andy Reid thing, those are click bait things and they are all over the place.

    Plus, I’m seeing ads on Facebook for renewing your passport online.

    Everything we do, every click we make.

      Great name Gullible for these Google Search Engine “come on articles”. “Click Bait Things”. I might reverse the order.. Bait Click Articles”. They “bait”, they “lure” you to then Click onto the Article. The Passport online Applications.. “we can do it better and far easier for you”.. are a real challenge. Cap and Patti
