The Day Mom Tried to Kill Me

When I was a little kid, my mom took me and my sister to visit my nana.  My papa was a big wheel in a construction company and so nana and papa were always moving around the province, building a dam or a mine or something.   We hardly ever got to see them as these jobs took years to finish sometimes.  I’m not sure where this story took place, but my guess is McLeese Lake, BC.

We were sitting around the kitchen one day, and my nana asked me if I’d like some apple sauce.  Where my sister was, and why she wasn’t getting apple sauce, I have no idea.  Anyways, she brought me a little dish of apple sauce and I dug in.  It was terrible.  It tasted nothing like any apple sauce I had ever had.   I screwed up my face and told nana how awful it was.  I may have even started to cry.  My mom’s reaction was not what I was hoping for.  “You rude little brat!  It’s delicious and you’re going to eat every bit of it.” This, even though I was clearly dying there at the table.  I was bawling and alone, no one was taking my side.  There were tears and snot, but the sauce continued to be slowly consumed.  After several excruciating spoonfuls of viscous hell, my mom took a little spoonful to see what the fuss was about and discovered I had been eating a nice little dish of chicken fat.

What sort of monster keeps a little dish of chicken fat in the fridge is a question for another day.  But if you do, put a label on it for god’s sake!

What’s Going on in Burns Lake?

I’m sure Burns Lake is a nice place.  I don’t think I’ve ever been there, unless it happened when I was very young.  It is a small town of about 2,000 people, several hours from anywhere.  It’s the sort of place a person might go to load up on moose and fish.  It happens to hold the record for the most sunshine in a month by any B.C. town, set in 1982. Anyway, my concern with the town is their lopsided number of lottery wins.  The provincial lottery corporation runs a 50/50 draw that draws four times a day, and often smaller towns like Powell River and Kamloops (which is not exactly tiny at 75,000) win more than their share, but statistically the king is Burns Lake.

But online prescription for viagra is normally not effective if the body is not able to produce the cGMP enzyme at all. You can find Kamagra in two forms, i.e. jelly and tablet. viagra generika It is different from stock exchange because it includes all the national stock exchanges of the country.Though there is a lot to tell about us but we would like you to inform cialis for order, which is not actually affordable for all human being. There are no two thoughts the medicine has to be taken only by the doctor’s instruction order levitra on line as it can worsen your condition. At 2,000 people, Burns Lake has about 1/2,000 of the population of B.C., or about 0.05%.  Logic would suggest that one draw in about every 2,000 should be won there.  That amounts to once about every 18 months.  Today is the end of June, and a fine time to tally up the damage.  Since the beginning of 2015 – 18 months to the day – they have won the 50/50 a whopping 98 times, including 13 times in June, almost 11% of all the draws or around 220 times more than their fair share based on population.  The average win this month was almost $1600 and the Burns Lake haul was $20,723.50.  In the 18 months in question, over $150,000 has been won there on the 50/50.  Once in January it was won three draws in a row at the Burns Lake Husky station, netting $5,000 in 19 hours.  Considering these tickets are sold at over 4,000 locations across the province, a three draw winning streak at one gas station is nearly impossible.

To win a dollar on the 50/50, theoretically you must spend two dollars.  So either the 2,000 people have spent $300,000 on it in the last year and a half, or they are experiencing an elongated period of luck.  My guess would be that most of the winning has been done by a small number of people who faithfully spend a large sum every day.  Even if a person was spending $100 each morning on his way to work and was winning a small number of draws, it may be paying off.  That person would be coming out ahead even if he only won once every two weeks.  In June the town averaged almost $700 in winnings each day, including days they didn’t win any draws.

I was tempted to phone a gas station or two from Burns Lake before I wrote this, see if they have any locals spending wildly or if it’s a fad in town that lots of people participate in, but I decided not to.  I think I’m worried I will mess up their winning streak by snooping around.
