Never, I repeat, never overestimate the intelligence of convenience store clerks.
Me: This ticket won $10. Give me a 5 line mega millions with no multiplier.
Clerk: OK
Clerk hands me 8 dollars and a ticket with one line.
Me: No, I asked for a 5 line ticket, no multiplier which would be 10 dollars.
Clerk: OK, give me back the ticket and the 8 dollars and I will void it and give you one with 5 lines.
Me: Why not take the 8 bucks and print a ticket with 4 lines, then we will be even.
Clerk: Really?

I'm stumped. 'Puters wouldn't pick up internet last nite on wireless, but the roku on direct wire did ok. When I lose internet, lose the roku too, so this was different. Usually it's back after a few hours, but still none today. Have different adapters on the 2 puters that can get 'net, neither get it. Finally dug out my 50' wire and hooked this one up direct, and that still works. None of the reset procedures for the router work. I'm thinking it's time to upgrade the router, that wire snaking down the stairs ain't exactly a permanent solution... Kinda strange, speed test isn't any faster with direct wire over wireless, but the pages sure load faster than they have been lately. Been getting real slow in the evening the last couple weeks, with the wireless signal dropping from the usual 90% plus to below 20%, was showing 80% signal strength this morning, just wouldn't connect. I'm ok with wires, but everything wireless I've touched just drives me nuts. I gave up on that stupid wireless video doorbell that only worked a couple weeks. Probably better I don't know who I'm ignoring anyway...
