white rabbits

I just noticed that today is July 1st. As a child my parents (or was it just my father?) would wish me happy white rabbits on the first of the month. I don't remember how long the tradition went on for, perhaps it just wasn't as good as our 8:38 mantra each morning on the way to school. A quick google to find the source of this tradition revealed a page with too much text for my limited attention span to cope with, but I do wonder how many other people shared this tradition and I also wonder of its source - just not enough to find out.

Anyway, it wasn't the first thing I said when I woke up this morning so I guess there's no good luck for me this month. Roll on August.
