   @Joe1962 You appear to suffer from confirmation bias.

   Sad but true. I don’t know the answer but “thoughts & prayers” isn’t it!

   MegaMillions odds are pretty long too, 1 in 302,575,350. But, I’ll keep playing as I don’t have any other vices to waste money on, well, other than motorcycles…

   Nah, the odds of winning the Powerball are a mere 1 in 175,223,510, or so says the web! :-)

   Not just east coast. I’ve heard the term in the Midwest since at least the 70’s.

   @drbethdance: What you call “money grubbing” I call being a savvy businessman. He capitalized on his success in quite a number of ways, but as a fan of his music for 40+ years I can say with complete confidence that didn’t affect the quality of his music as he continued to crank out amazing tunes. And don’t forget his philanthropic contributions over the years. He was heavily involved in a number of charities. Went to a number of his concerts with my late wife and will always cherish those memories.

   I was on the way to an evidentiary hearing (I was in law enforcement back then, now retired) when NPR gave the first report that “a small plane” had hit one of the Twin Towers. Got to court and was immediately sequestered in a conference room with 3 or 4 other Agents from my agency. No smart phones back then but our pagers got news briefings and all of them started going off at once. Somebody got us a radio so we listened to the news, fully expecting court to be cancelled but it was not.

   I testified for an hour or more, all the while wondering what else was happening. Finally got out and another Agent and I caravaned together for the 3 hour ride home. We were talking via radio and commenting about how there were no planes in the sky (we hadn’t heard they were all grounded) and how suddenly there were American flags everywhere. In front of houses, on fence lines, overpasses, etc. that weren’t there when we drove out that morning. And every farmhouse on the highways, and houses in the towns we passed through, seemed to have every single light on.

   That’s a day, and a drive, I’ll never forget.

    So many choices but Kylie Irving is at the top of the heap. (Aaron Rogers and Novak Djokovic should be tied for runner up!)
