BIG JACKPOT TONIGHT

There is a very big jackpot in tonight Mega Millions lottery, I have already got my tickets for tonights drawing which is worth an estimated $250 million dollars. If there is no new post in the morning on Mickey's Place it probably does mean that I hit the jackpot. There was at least one teacher that stayed extra hours an Tussing yesterday, I guess she was so happy to be back at school that she didn't want to leave. East Carolina already almost facing an up hill battle at Virginia Tech on Saturday now will have to do it without it's starting QB who was arrested Saturday night for a DUI, thats just plain stupid on his part. I pulled something in my right shoulder yesterday at work & it it quite sore this morning, I think I might be just falling apart. I have posted another photo of the day that I got of the AP wire of bird with his lunch. They are coming by again today to put another coat of shine on the hardwood floors & to do some more on the new room. MICKEY
