![The Bulletin: Is it bad luck to read this newsletter? [Issue #34]](https://storage.ghost.io/c/00/e5/00e5bf23-2b72-4a48-92bb-496245b79d2a/content/images/2023/07/20230719_233208.jpg)
We're hoping that, as you read this, something monumental isn't happening right now.
Why? Seems like every time we stay up late pounding back black market Prime energy drinks on Wednesday nights, excitedly getting ready for the moment we hit send to all you beautiful people, something happens: The city's air quality gets into the pits. An insane ice storm. Catastrophic forest fires. You name it. This past week, we were hit with a disastrous thunderstorm resulting in floods (more on that below).
Now, we're not saying this is our fault, but we're starting to get the inclination that we should get a *little* superstitious.
Tell you what: If for some reason we can't post one week, we'll make sure to hit the Montreal Casino and put it all on black—or blaze through $40 at a VLT in a dive bar—just to see what happens. We'll even film the whole thing.
