Cazual Conversation

A normal person would not waste money on scratch-off Florida Lottery tickets after failing, repeatedly, to win.

We’ve previously established I’m not normal, so here goes.

I bought a $10 MegaGold scratch off ticket because my car payment is due and I’m $15 short. I need to win at least $15 to make this work.

Having given up on luck, it’s down to this. I’m going to propose 10 topics of discussion for my blog.

After typing each suggestion, I’ll scratch off two “prizes.” I’m willing to write about whatever the gods desire. They can show me by giving me a winning scratch when they see the topic they want.

Here goes:

1: Why is it so hard to get someone to build a grocery store south of 15th street where you don’t risk life and limb to enter?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next topic.

2: Sheriff Frank McKeithen has ordered his folks to use their county vehicles for work-related duties. Kudos.

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next topic.

3: The trail date for the man accused of killing a woman and her three children has been set for mere weeks before the State Attorney’s Office election next fall. What does that mean?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next topic.

4: The new airport construction is ahead of schedule. Wouldn’t that be a great topic?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next topic.

5: Cedar Grove’s Police Chief says he was misrepresented about how much revenue his department generates through ticketing innocent motorists who’ve done nothing but break the speed laws.

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next Topic.

6: I taped the Lee Sullivan show today. Was he more distracted by my ADD than I was by his laugh?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next Topic.

7: Do people really believe the alleged “Good ‘Ol boys” have wrested control of our website away from us?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next topic.

8: Is it a good idea to put a statue of Gerry Clemons in the round-about at 19th Street and Balboa Avenue? I think so.

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Next topic.

9: If a Health Department employee takes everyone out for donuts and lunch, and said donuts are in their stomachs when they return, are they violating policy by digesting on the job?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing. Last topic.

10: Could they pay a monkey to write this blog?

Scratch 1: Nothing. Scratch 2: Nothing.

I’ll take this as a sign I do not need to write a blog today, at least not until I get back with my $20 scratchoff Lottery ticket.
