TEXAS LOTTERY … MY DREAM !
If you live in Texas you’ve probably dreamed about winning one of the Texas Lottos – and without exception the one you dream about winning is always the ‘Big One’.
I’ve been playing the Lotto off and on for many years. Each time knowing it was my turn to win. But. . .oops! just missed it by only 4 numbers. ‘Maybe next time’ has become my mantra and I always believe that the next drawing will turn up my numbers. Like it’s been said – and is so true – if you don’t play you’ll never win…anything. So, I’m off to town to buy my lottery ticket. I just know this one is going to be the winner. . . like the folks below.

World’s Biggest ‘Big Boy’ Toy
While on the way to an auction last weekend, I happened to drive by and get a picture of the completed ‘humongous’, Texas-sized drag-line. I have watched them building this monster for about a year now and last weekend was the first time I was able to get a good picture.
It was built for the Kosse mine and while construction had been on one side of the highway between Marquez and Kosse, I was amazed on this last trip to see that they had moved it from the construction area where it had been built literally from the ground up to across the highway where it was parked. Would have loved to have been able to see them move that thing. Probably did it in the middle of the night.
As you look at the photo it may appear to be trackless, but that is only because there was a slight rise in the ground that blocked part of the view. To give you an idea of the size of this monster, the welding machine on the small trailer is approximately 5′ in height. If you do the math, I estimate the boom to be over 200′+ high. The small dark spot is the man in the operator’s cab.
Hope it see it in action next time I go through. If I’m that lucky, I’ll try to get some video. Bet that bucket could hold a dump truck or two.

My Favorite Camera
We all like to take pictures of our collections – either to share or for insurance purposes. However, finding a good digital camera from the vast number available is not always easy.
What are 14 Requirements of a good digital camera?
- Pocket-sized
- Small but not so small that it can’t easily be held
- Have a good sized LCD viewer
- Easy to turn on/off (slide switch)
- Tripod mountable
- Memory stick preferred
- Internal memory of 8+ Gigs
- Mega pixels of 10+
- ‘Steady Shot’ feature
- Touch screen controls
- Zoom – ’5 power’
- Metal case
- Movie mode
- Micro setting for details
The only camera I have found to date that meets all of the above requirements is the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC T700. This camera is easy to operate while switching from one mode to another is simple with the touch screen feature. Touch….touch….touch and you’re ready to go.
I have used other digital cameras but have found that the Sony Cyber-Shot far excels what one needs to take a good, clear picture – day or night. This camera will be liked by both beginners and experienced photographers.
Once you have pictures of your collection, store them ono a CD or memory stick to keep as a record for insurance purposes. For extra safety, keep a copy offsite in your safety deposit box or business safe.
Thanks !
