If You Won The Lottery

Come now, Jethro, if you had access to a high performance vehicle, an open stretch of winding road that you know isn't being patrolled and no traffic except the odd deer or marmot... would YOU drive 50 mph?
 
If I ever won lotto I'd buy out every single :pepsi stockholder and close down the company.

Then I'd buy all rights to pepsi smilies and lock them in a vault...on the moon.

Then if I had any money left, I'd buy a case of coke and drive down to the river and watch the ducks swim by.

No, I don't suppose I would.

I'd drive 45 just to make sure I didn't accidentally speed.

Then I'd come to our open worship meeting (the one you're sponsoring) and I'd brag about it until the elders carried me out.

Can I change my answer to the above?

Everyone but Pizzaguy. Mark, I think I would have you either drive, or at least have your Roadster especially shipped out here. Then, you and I would take a drive up the Sweet/Ola highway. It's not quite as twisting as the Dragon, but there is little to no traffic and the Sheriff's department never patrols up here. So, you could push your Crossfire just as fast as you'd like.

I'm going to ask some or our west-coast members if they know of this road! :D

Wow! She doesn't have a dime of the money yet and already she's breakin' the law...and leading poor innocent pizzaguy astray with her. :lol

Leading me astray? You've not seen my "Chased by a Sport Bike..." video on YouTube, have you? :yes

Hey, hey! I sense another denomination being formed in the church.

Welcome aboard!

He is a cool guy. He actually has some spiritual sensibilities about him. They shine through occasionally on the show.


...but don't ask Conan O'Brien, lol.
 
I bought into the hype and did buy tickets in the past. But never again.

I used to view it at "fun" but at the end of the day things like the lottery play into one's sinful nature of greed. Sure, if I won I might spend some of the money (or even most of it) on worthwhile causes, but only after my own needs are meet 100%. If we are honest that is the case with all of us.

If you look at the demographics most lottery money comes from the poor and it's really just a form of exploitation by our government.

Here's what I learned. If I took the $20/week I wasted on the lottery and bumped up my monthly Roth IRA contribution I will have an extra $80,000 after 30 years. I like those odds much much better than 1:180,000,000 to win the lottery.

Not my best run of the weekend, the best was the last and I didn't turn the camera on when I came upon a Genesis Coupe and I chased him up the hill on "Hellbender" and back to the Lodge. Best part really starts at about 7:40 - but you will notice I sped up around 3:00 when he got close, but then he backed off until about 7:20.

Here I am going DOWN Hellbender (don't like going DOWN it as much as going UP, going down, 60 or 65 seems fast, but going UP I hit over 80 chasing the GenCoupe. I kept up with him, and he has well over 50 HP on me.)

Marmot?

Seriously?

HEY!!! Don't diss the marmots... I love the little critters. They have this nice little habit of watching one's vehicle approach... watching... watching... and at the last possible moment running across the road to see if one is local or not.

If one is local, you just maintain speed and keep cruising... the marmot will make it safely across to the other side.

If one isn't local, one swerves and slams on brakes and then tumbles off the Sweet/Ola highway, which is solid wall of Idaho batholith on one side and a sheer drop of over 100 feet on the other... then the little marmots do a happy marmot dance knowing they've done their part to keep the city slickers away.

They won't know of it... it's a hidden gem. But I'm willing to let you in on the secret if you let me ride along.

Seriously, it's a fun road to drive... rising up almost 500 feet in the first 6 miles or so, then dropping about 50 or so feet in the last 10 miles all while twisting and curving along roller coaster type hills with the aforementioned wall on one side and drop on the other. No traffic to speak of, but one does need to keep a sharp eye out for critters. The marmots and quail aren't much of a bother, but the deer, elk, and moose can be problematic if one is going 70+... :chin


As for the insidious plan to close down Pepsi... Why I think I'd better dispatch the feared Idhao ninja marmots to take Jethro down!!! I'll pay them out of my lottery winnings...:swords
 
Jethro, reading your post confuse me, why do many double, triple, and so on posts lol?

I would buy more money! lololol
