    No tickets needed to go in my safe-deposit box this morning, but the sun came up and I sucked oxygen in and blew CO2 out, so everything still works and everything in my world is well! How about you?

    I wish it was Sir Richard, but he is into buying Islands rather than anything I might have to sell!

    Yup! But most of us were smart enough to have a supply that would get us through at least a full weekend.

    It's a stupid law that you supposed progressive Delewhereans apparently put up with.

    Gone now, but I do admit to driving that police gauntlet on the only coast road to Ocean City, more than once!

    Apparently the much-hyped "possible winner" video that was shown last week (the guy in the VA DoT yellow vest checking his numbers at a gas station in Upper Marlboro) was nothing but another fraud by another Maryland resident looking for publicity.

    Looks Like He Didn't Win Powerball After All

    The real winner:

    Man in Ariz. Claims Half of Powerball Jackpot

    A man who lottery officials announced Friday has claimed his half of the $587.5 million Powerball jackpot, decided to collect the winnings now and not next year because of the financial uncertainty posed by the nation's ongoing financial impasse.

    The man, who is in his 30s from a wealthy Phoenix suburb, decided to remain anonymous after he bought $10 worth of tickets and kept the winning slip in the visor of his car overnight before realizing he was a multimillionaire.
