Addiction 2022.3

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Colonoscopy is nothing. I’ve had a couple.

on the other, I literally wanted to kill the lady. My wife said she never saw that look on my face.

Colonoscopy is a piece of cake. Worst part is the prep, forcing down a gallon of fluids. Even that is only a 2 on the discomfort scale.

We have foxes, snakes, hawks, and owls to keep the rodents under control, here at the rjones28 wildlife area.

It looks like it would be worth it to buy one ticket for every possible number combination, as long as nobody else buys the winning combo. Which, of course, you can't guarantee. So, if you have $302,575,350, you might be able to more than doyuble it!
If there's ONE other winner you'd still come out ahead. More than that, you're scrood.
