The jackpot for Wednesday's Powerball drawing now stands at $550 million --

[careless hal]

The cash value of 500 million is 327.4 million!  So after taxes you would only have 210 million!
It will go over 500 million before the drawing.  I'm thinking 550 million!

   Don't even have to apply, Amy!   Just tell me what job you want and it's yours!

I never play these things...it's just an exorbitant form of taxation by the government.  And we are still broker than hell.  Ever wonder where all this losing money goes?  IMHO.

I bought one anyway. If it hits I'll be in Belize, Barbados, Costa Rica, or somewhere else warm. If I get the itch to go back to racing, maybe New Zealand. It's just buying a dream for 2 bucks. Rotten odds but fun to think about.

I bought a ticket, Hal. If I hit you can explain the odds to me on MY Carribean island. Drinks are on me.

ps Bring Chicago Jazz with you... he always has top shelf cigars with him.

Fine Cigars are always ready, all we need is the damn winning ticket.
good luck!

Heck, while we're dreaming, maybe we'll both hit and have to split it over a fine cigar. The only time I smoke is when I get a cigar from you, or when my Son & I go to the NASCAR race in Bristol. Good luck Jazz!

That'll be handy. I'm getting by on a little less than that now.

Where is the GISS with all this talk about fine cigars?   What's your favorite stick?

[Just Saying]

My daughter inlaw's uncle is an Air Force Doctor who frequently flys down to Gitmo. Since military planes don't go through customs he always brings back boxes of Cohibas for himself. He shared a couple with me at family weddings... they are primo!

I hope someone else in the family gets married soon. It's been awhile.

One of our customers brings in these oddly rolled things in papers that look yellowish brown. I'm not sure what kind of tobacco this is, but it smells like a skunk and tastes really different than any other cigar I ever smoked. I also find that it makes me light footed and craving Crunchy Cheetos. He did mention that they cost about $10 each, so they must be high quality.

Those are called piss wrappers.  Pig piss is preferred but in a pinch some unsavory typres use human urine.  Folks that smoke these are usually also fans of golden showers.
