The hazy afternoon sunlight filtered through the strands of the banyan tree's fibrous trunk. Of course, I am just guessing that it was a banyan tree. My knowledge in tree-ology is sadly lacking.

18-26-27-31-32-34

Three numbers were only off by one, and one number was correct.

Also when I developed my pictures, I discovered that my camera had slipped into an alternate universe the second I had snapped the shutter. In this alternate universe, there were two joggers next to the palm tree; while in this universe, the runners were not present.

It wasn't until later when I had my pictures developed that I noticed that what I thought had been an ordinary picture of a garden trellis included a view of a visitation by a garden fairy.

On my way to Florida, I was shocked to see the effects of the drought as our plane passed over Georgia. Notice how this giant lake has shrunken, leaving dry earth all around its edges. If I could win Megabucks with these numbers (below), I would pay someone to figure out how to end global warming. But I wonder if there's enough money in the whole world to solve this crisis.

I got one number right.

I was suddenly reminded that I was in Key West, Florida when a kiwi strolled in front of me, right next to the edge of the pool. At least I THINK it was a kiwi. Perhaps it was a tern or some other exotically named fowl.

An educational video demonstrating bad camera techniques. These include holding the camera at the wrong angle and setting the exposure incorrectly. We hoped you have learned from the mistakes of this video.

6-17-28-32-34-39

The winning numbers have not been drawn yet, but I will notify you as soon as they are, and I presumably win.

I did not win, but I did get one number right:

2-20-24-30-36-39

I studied the strange photograph while scratching my head. Whose antique television set was that? And why, in the nearly toppling tape of VHS tapes on top of an equally antique VCR, was there one labeled with the cryptic acronym, "Yu-gi-oh?" The calendar on the wall seemed to be turned to a picture of a Frank Lloyd Wright house that was built in Phoenix, Arizona in 1950. And, whoever this room belonged to, why did they have an electric keyboard that seemed to have fallen into disuse, evidenced by the fact that it had a cover over it that looked like it hadn't been disturbed in MONTHS?

One number was right, and two others were only off by one.

Here's a shot of my workplace. Yes, it is dingy and we have a vampire that makes a lot of racket up in a balcony over our workstations, but it's a job ... and SOMEBODY'S got to do it.

I haven't bought my ticket yet -- I will do that tomorrow.
