Kinda bummed this morning, I just knew that Mega Millions Jackpot last night was going home with me. It didn’t but it didn’t go home with you either. Almost $1 billion when they draw again Friday. Powerball this evening worth $730 million !
I was asked if I planned to watch the Inauguration today. I won’t and never once have in the past
Monster win for the Cougar Men’s Basketball team over Freedom last night. Freedom never takes a beating like that, but they did last night. The Patriots are year-in and year-out about as good as you’ll find in the state. A 30 point thrashing in Taylorsville was not in the cards. Go Cougars !!!
