No trade for me last night.  I was busy looking after Chubbs and he does not allow you to pay attention to anything other than him for more than a moment.  Some interesting stuff going on in Toronto today.  For one thing, it is snowing!  We got a dumping of snow this morning and it caused some problems for the morning commute.  Luckily I don’t have a job anymore!  Unfortunately I agreed to drive my girlfriend to work.  In other news, a local guy named Thomas Noftall won 135 grand on some scratch tickets on new years.  Unfortunately the lottery and gaming commission is claiming that his tickets were part of a batch of 1,000 misprinted tickets.  As part of their policy, all he is entitled to is either his $3 back or a new ticket.  That SUCKS!!!  I am not sure what he is planning to do about this, but I would be taking some action.  Imagine playing the game by all the rules and thinking you won a lot of money.  Then to have them say you did win, but the ticket wasn’t valid because they goofed.  Fuck that.  I would be pissed.  Even though they clearly state their rules, I wonder if he has grounds to sue?  It would be worth a shot.  As is my custom, I try to give you something funny everyday.  Here is a comic from Abstruse Goose.  It is a big one, but one of the best explanations into male thinking I have ever seen.  Women often think that we have nothing on our minds.  It’s a lie.  We are just trying to structure what we say based on how we think you will react.  Don’t get mad, it’s a survival tactic that has been working quite well.  See the below example.
