Speaking of cold, what about your camera being affected by it. I experimented with some winter photography (very novice) and the cold caused my photos to not appear.

With all the taxes involved for winners, isn't' the real winner the government? They make income from the sales, and then have vig on the other end.

On a win, how much would a government bring in, between sales, and taxes, versus payout to the big "winner"?

Yes, I suppose I was thinking on a philosophical level as well. Its a pretty good deal.

Have you studied the sad stories of winners who go broke, and come away with any nuggets about the human condition? and I suppose what may be a common trait of those who thrive when they have a windfall.

Okay, here is an actual question, raised by a guy on a podcast.
What about collecting river water that is pouring into the ocean, (befoe it is at the area where it is brackish), and piping it to say, Lake Mead or where there is drought, and filling the reservoirs?

I can't foresee too much environmental bitching for piping water.

Absolutely. You are solving problems. A person needs an ID for everything, and people helping them are doing a life changing service. your work is the answer to the issue.

My point is, anyone who thinks a person should be able to come to the poll and say a name, then be permitted to vote is suspect. And racist in a patronizing way.
