Yes! I won! I matched 3 number without the powerball so I scored $7. I swear I almost bought the power play which would have made this a $35 ticket. Wahoo!

Just incase you haven’t heard, the lottery is up to $340,000,000! Draws tonight. I really hope that no one gets it. I’d love to see this break $400 million and I sincerely hope that someone truly deserving gets the money.

Master: Read the signs carefully.

For those into home defense. (yes, you’ve seen that gun on Predator)

My wife posted this picture of a wooly worm that was crawling around outside our house. It’s head is toward the top of the picture. Looks like a mild winter to me.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration explains the wooly worm as a weather predictor.

"…the amount of black on the woolly bear in autumn varies proportionately with the severity of the coming winter…"

"The longer the woolly bear’s black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be."

"…every 3rd weekend in October the annual Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, NC. They begin worm their worm races around 10:20 AM…"

Ours was heading west. Now what does that mean?!

UPDATE:Snopes has commentary answering the questions:

1. Was this question-and-answer exchange published in a newspaper’s advice column?
2. Did the question come from a submission received by the columnist (rather than being something she made up herself)?
3. Was the letter on the level, or did the submitter simply fabricate a narrative for humor’s sake?

The first two are definitely true.

Instead of fighting Geocaching Park Services are beginning to accept Geocaching as they do horseback riding including offering Geocaching tours.
