I'm going to continue to edit this particular blog as time goes on. So you'll have to check back on it since it will slowly get buried under more recent blogs.
I've started mentally keeping track of how you could live off of what is readily available or that you could find around town. Everything from food to toilet paper.
So here goes the list of what I have so far:
Food: Peanuts from Santa Fe Restaurant readily available just inside the front door.
The guys at the mall always give out free samples of that chicken they call "Cajun". I once ate at Chic-fil-a, was still hungry, so I went over to them and sampled all that chicken. Then I wasn't hungry anymore.
Drink: Chocolate shakes are free to kids at Boomerang if you color a picture.
Also, I saw a guy walk into a McDonals with McDonalds cup that had to be soooooo old. He walked in, refilled his drink, and walked out. Now that's stealing. But it sort of fits the topic.
Clothes: You could stalk a "Red Box" clothes drop off point or dig inside one.
More to come....

Lottery
I have to admit that for a guy who doesn't believe in gambling, I've given this a LOT of thought. Mostly while I'm driving in the car where most of my open thinking occurs.
So here it is.
Say I win $175 million.
First rule: Do not make anyone rich, including myself. That will ruin your life.
Second rule: Get rid of it before anyone notices.
So I'll have to do the following:
1. Have an attorney pick it up anonymously. Do not appear on TV especially.
2. Pay off all of my debts.
3. Anonymously pay off family debts.
4. Create an organization to oversee and use the money to any number of ideas I have for community and religious charities. Let's face it, money is power and to not use it for the benefit of mankind would be crazy. It would be an excellent opportunity to do something amazing.
And never tell anyone.
That's the perfect scenario. Is there a human alive that could stick with such a plan? I don't know. Every time I get tempted to buy a lotto ticket I cringe at the thought of loosing everything I've worked for. A weird thought to have when most people see it as an opportunity for gain.
So I'll try not to dwell on this much anymore. But it's a cool thought. But then reality hits...it would really shake things up. I don't need that.
