I'm watching a marathon of some show on lottery winners. I'm so absorbed I forgot The Stand started at five. Some of these people are smart with their money, but too many are complete idiots. One family won 2.5 million, and went off and bought five trucks, and even a Mustang for their 15 year old daughter who didn't have a license. 2.5 really isn't a lot of money, and you just blew 200 grand on an asset that is going to significantly depreciate? D'oh.

I'd like to congratulate all the Canadian hockey fans here at the web site. The game was magnificent, it was a pity that somebody had to lose.

I'd like to virtually slide along the ice and shakes all y'alls hands....

$2.5 million spread out over 20 years with no taxes taken out is $125,000/year. Not a bad salary in 2010, but from 1980 to 2000, wages in the U.S. increased well over 250%. If that trend holds, by 2030, these folks, assuming they retire with their winnings, will be behind the curve, even if they never pay a penny in tax on that money.

And, of course, in the real world, you gotta' render unto Caesar!

Rather than five trucks and a Mustang, these folks should have hired a high school tutor to teach them some basic math skills.

The difference between those who earn and those who simply take is that no responsibility has been learned in the interim.

Found a car program that my wife likes...Top Gear on the Beeb.

The irony here is that not only does my wife not share my enthusiasm for such things but Jeremy and company are just this side of insane. The guys at Car & Driver think like this as well, too bad it doesn't translate to their TV show.

I love Top Gear! Especially when they got kicked out of the US for bad driving!

Poke 'em back in again. Have a drop of cough medicine, or tipple of choice, to help them stay in. (And hope you get better soon)

Shake on it. It really was a great game. I put my money on the States but I'm happy I lost.
Careful not to fall there. That ice is mighty treaturous...

Nursing a sick child most of the weekend. Would have been a lot easier if wife wasn't actually in the medical field and filling my head with 100 worst case scenarios. Such is parenthood I reckon.
