Holy Feng Shui, Betsteroids! Did you know March has five Fridays in it? This is supposed to be really rare and is called “money bags,” according to a chain email that popped up on Facebook saying I should copy it to my status. No, the Betster doesn’t believe everything on Facebook, either, but then again, you never know. Does it count if a chain email goes in Best Bets?

Well, May has five Fridays, too, as do August and November. Snopes, the urban legends website, says that five Fridays thing isn’t all that rare. On average, months with 31 days have five Fridays every seven years. Do you feel lucky? Feng Shui fans say if you want real money bags, tie nine coins in a red square of cloth with a red ribbon and place it near where you want money to be received or generated. Voila! As they say in Quebec.

You want luck? The Betster feels pretty dang lucky living here on Kachemak Bay. Here it is the spring equinox (at 3:02 a.m. precisely, if you must know), and even though snow abounds and melting ice turns roads into glaciers, that mid-day sun feels mighty fine. Skiers have been soaking up Uncle Sol on long journeys into the hills. On the beach, it looks like Waikiki, but without the bikinis and flip-flops. Heck, the other day the Betster saw some guys playing baseball on the Spit. Baseball! March Madness isn’t even over.

Yeah, summertime can be great, but spring is marvelous. For one thing, we’re heading into warmth and not away from it. So get out, celebrate sunny and longer days, maybe with these Best Bets:

BEST LOOKING SLICK BET: Ducktail and bouffant hairdos, pegged jeans, poodle skirts and jump-up-and-jive music. Sure, the 1950s were a little white bread, but the kids rocked.
