Etc.

I will probably miss it, but there is supposed to be a solar eclipse visible in the western United States on May 20.

I don't think there has been one around these parts since I was about eight or nine years old. I remember the sky going completely dark. We had to stay indoors, of course, and not look at the sun.

Don't you just love the law, lawyers, and judges? It's always about the minutae:

That contradicted Super 1 Stop store manager Lisa Petriches' earlier testimony that she had taped a sign that read "Do not take" on the can. But a former store clerk testified that Petriches posted the sign only after Jones claimed the prize.

Petriches brought the lawsuit against Jones, and Duncan joined it after the judge said at a January hearing that she may be the true owner of the ticket. Hughes ruled that Petriches and the store's owner, Louie Dajani — whose corporation, Summer One LLC, joined the suit — weren't entitled to anything.
The judge instructed the winning side to write the judgment for his signature, and it will become official once Hughes signs it. Jones' attorneys will then have 30 days to file an appeal.

Hughes found that the evidence weighed in Duncan's favor that she bought the winning ticket, even though lottery records and store security video didn't synch up to the precise timing of the purchase.

Arkansas Lottery Security Chief Lance Huey testified that he investigated the circumstances of the ticket falling into Jones' hands. He said the lottery was satisfied with the investigation and awarded the prize.

I just say let the woman keep the money. The judge is wrong here. The woman who lost should sue the store or the scanner maker.
