amber squirrel
I put this lovely amber squirrel in my front window for Halloween. Eerily, it lit up and let off a ghostly, orange glow -- and there wasn't even a light bulb in it! I told the children who came for candy that the squirrel was HAUNTED.

panorama of what I thought was a tsunami
With great foreboding, I nervously took this video of what I thought was a giant tsunami hundreds of miles high about to crash down on the Eastern seaboard. As I waited trembling in my running shoes, I noticed that the crest of it simply was not moving. With some careful, analytical thought I deduced that it was a giant storm front on its way westward, coming off the Atlantic Ocean. I breathed a great sigh of relief and resumed jogging.
The numbers I played for Megabucks were:
2-13-25-30-31-41

the ramshackle old barn
The real estate agent proudly presented his highest priced property to me, the other day when I was looking for a barn to buy. I looked at it quizzically. THIS was worth $799,000?

the words loomed up out of the darkness
The night was as black as pitch and just as silent. Suddenly, these words loomed up at me out of the darkness. I was already not saying a word; how could I be anymore quiet? It felt like Halloween had arrived early. Instead of being scared, I took a picture of the ghostly letter-apparitions.

I discovered that someone had drastically altered my back yard
I went out my back door and I discovered that someone had drastically altered my back yard. A beautiful, wrought iron bench sat where there had been nothing before; and the towering blue spruce had been magically transformed into a gnarly old oak tree. Additionally, someone felt presumptuous enough to encourage people to walk into my house by planting a welcome/come-on-in kind of sign right by my back door.
The numbers I played for Megabucks were:
5-20-21-27-29-41
The winning numbers have not been drawn yet. I will notify you of my winnings as soon as they are announced.

Well, two numbers being only one off by one and a third being exactly right is not half-bad.

a visit from the REAL Winnie-the-Pooh
I was shocked today to receive a visit a from the REAL Winnie-the-Pooh. I tried to take a few quick pictures of him, but he grabbed my camera and destroyed it with the brute force of his bear paws. Aha ha, I fooled him! I had already transmitted the first picture I took of him up to the web, and the transmission completed before the camera was crushed. Alas, the clearer pictures that I took right after this one did not make it. Maybe the next time he comes and visits me?

6-14-20-28-35-37
The winning numbers were:
1-8-16-25-27-38

the Tin Man fell out of the sky and landed sitting up on a roof gutter
The Tin Man fell out of the sky and landed sitting up on a roof gutter near to where I strolled along today. He yelled over to me that the Wizard had found a way for him to visit Dorothy. "You're a little late," I shouted back at him. "Judy Garland died years ago--" But my words were cut off as a green faced woman appeared on a ratty broom and dragged him back up into the sky. I assume it was the Wicked Witch of the West taking him back to Oz.
