Yesterday I bought a few Powerball tickets on-line.

Just checked my emails.
I'm either wealthy or I won a couple of dollars. I'm going to guess I won a couple of dollars. Excuse me while I go check.

You Won!

Keri Bergere, a competitive cyclist from Washington State, said she "would be dead" had it not been for her friends, Annie Bilotta and Tisch WIlliams, who fought off a cougar that attacked her while mountain biking.

Eldine Arendse, a guest on the vehicle, shared her story and footage of this scary incident with LatestSightings.com.

Bongani Yende had chosen to take his guests to the Rathlogo Bird Hide in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. The guests had gotten out of the vehicle and were walking around the parking area, which his allowed. That is when Bongani noticed a massive bull elephant making its way to the hide's parking area.

Understanding the behavior and visual telltale signs of elephants, Bongani saw that this bull was in musth. Elephant musth is a time when male elephants can get really aggressive and show increased interest in mating. Understanding that it could lead to a potentially dangerous situation, he managed to get four of his guests onto the vehicle while the other 15 were still in the hide and the parking area...

Here we go again!!!!

Received an email from the Illinois Lottery at 11:11pm last night.

I'm either a multi millionaire or I won a couple of bucks. I'm too nervous and excited to check.

You Won!

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

I admit it happened to me TWICE. Before I figured it out.

I assume it was a cleaning product or something, but the moment I walked into the lobby of my building today, I was instantly transported to precisely ten steps inside the Flamingo's casino in Las Vegas.

Not in terms of smoke or booze or anything like that - just the prevailing smell. So weird.

I wish - but it's really not a bad smell. I'm just sort of amazed at the immediacy and specificity of the memory.

Supposedly smell is the sense most connected to memory.
