Oops the drawing already happened. :(
March 5-11 is National Problem Gambling Awareness week.
With that in mind, the Mega Millions jackpot is up to a whopping $370 million+, a record!
You’ll have a 1 in 176 million chance of winning it all or a 1 in 40 chance of winning some sort of cash prize.
Millions vie for Mega Millions
I like how they print about National Problem Gambling Awareness Week right on the lotto ticket! :)

I’ve been on a hiking kick lately in preparation for Peru! This past weekend we went on our 2nd hike at Switzer Falls. It’s so nice to take time out and enjoy nature. I love it!
The Hiking Crew:
If you want to find some good hikes around your area, this website is great. They give you all of the specs about the hike including pictures! They also rate the hikes and have reviews. Their search tool is a great way to narrow down specific types of hikes you want to take depending on distance, rating, and area.
If anyone is interested in going hiking with us, drop me a note! Our next hike is at the end of this month to Escondido Falls, an easy/moderate hike.

I recently had to learn how to jump start a car…a useful thing to know for anyone who drives:
To quickly sum up how to connect the cables
1. Connect the positive cable to the dead battery
2. Connect the other positive cable to the good battery
3. Connect the negative cable to the good battery
4. Connect the other end of the negative cable to a solid shiny, non painted metal part of the engine like a giant shiny nut on the engine block. Only use the ground post on the dead battery as a last resort!
Then we found out the battery of the car wasn’t the problem. We found this useful page on how to diagnose what’s wrong with your car if it doesn’t start:
My car won’t start, what should I do?
Random car tip:
How to determine if you tire has enough tread left – Use a penny and place Lincoln’s head upside down into the tread. If you can see his head after inserting it it’s time to replace your tires!

Interesting article:

I also heard that heavy machinery operators get paid a lot. Like the people who operate the cranes at construction sites. They also left off professional poker players and business owners!

I really need this as I look “halfasleep” in about half of my photos. I don’t know why I am so prone to closing my eyes in pictures!!
Canon to work on a camera that only takes pictures when everybody’s eyes are open.
I wonder how it’s going to work?
