Rip Snorter's Blog

The last entry was intended to be about the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 (the Terrors), and the fact that Jemez Pueblo has decided to change history a bit to make it appear something to celebrate. 

For 300 years New Mexicans have celebrated Fiesta on or about September 15.  That celebration is in honor of the return of the Spaniards, peaceful re-conquest by Diego De Vargas without firing a shot, the tribes heaving sighs of relief that normalcy could now return.

However, I digressed. 

Instead of talking about the terrors, and the Jemez Pueblo's surprising new view of the end of them, I wrote instead of a different sort of revisionism..... the modern revisionism by State Officials in complicity with Lottery Authority officials fraudulently advertising a 93 million dollar jackpot which was actually a 55 million dollar jackpot (93 million if you allowed them to collect interest on it and trickle it out to you over a 30 year period, which isn't a jackpot, at all, but rather a 55 million dollar lousy interest savings account).  I was perturbed when I learned that this 93 million dollar winner we NMers were thrilled about will actually see 36 million.

Thieves, scoundrels and liars, those officials who misrepresented their product to the ticket buying public.

In any case, sometime I promise to tell you about the Pueblo Revolt and the terrors.  Meanwhile, if you'd care to get a general overview, you can get it from my webpage with the chronology of SW history.  Scroll down to 1680.

I'll preface this by saying we had a fairly nice T-storm today.... actually had some surface runoff for about five minutes.

I don't usually read the newspapers, but today I did.  I was interested in what they'd say about the PB winner last night.

What they said can be summarized:

1)  They didn't know who, at the time of publication, had the winning ticket.

2)  The person who has the winning ticket for 93 million advertised bucks US, if he/she takes the lump sum, will be entitled to roughly 55 million, except for the fact he won't be allow the money until US and NM taxes are paid.  Which means the actual amount the jackpot winner will receive is $36 million, US.

Makes me think it's time for some serious shakeups.  If this isn't misleading advertising, nothing is.  These lottery people are lying through their teeth and their squinty little pig eyes.  If the jackpot is 55 million, that's what it ought to be advertised as on the billboards.  And they ought to be required to add fine print that you'll be required to subtract another 20 million or so for taxes.

If you lied about such things, they'd send you to prison.  It's fraud, deceptive trade practices, and a lot else.

But because the lies are told by a pack of gangsters, a consortium of government officials and corporate highway robbers, everything's okay, hunky-dory.  After all, it's all for the betterment of all those kiddies.

I believe it's time to bring the mafia back into the numbers rackets.  Players didn't get ripped off so badly when it was run by just plain crooks.

But I've digressed.  I was going to tell you about the Jemez Pueblo recent decision to celebrate the terrors of 1680 (Pueblo Revolt), and the way they're rewriting history into something more fitting to the way they'd prefer it had happened.  Which I also read in the newspaper.

But I'll save that for another entry.

If I was playing MM tonight, which I ain't, I'd pick my numbers from among these:

10 11 14 16 22 23  27 30 32 36 39 41  56 57

But my batting average is lousy.

Don't take this as advice.  Don't read it as a suggestion.

It's a statement of my own folly.  Nothing more.

Jack

 

1)  The numbers for all the lotteries are selected from the same energy source, or are all measuring the same phenomenon.  The system is fundamentally mechanical.

2)  The numbers behave individually as single digits, 0 through 9. 

3)  When the digits merge with other digits the right digit carries the force, while the left digit drives the affinity selections.

4)  The left digits are usually drawn to select 'mates' as high on the 0-9 scale as is 'possible' within the context of whatever  is driving the system.  Some attractions and affinities appear to be considerably stronger than others and occur more frequently.  But all these behaviors are relatively consistent throughout the pool of lotteries and their histories.

5)  The numbers are the 'players', and they are poor and under-educated.  They are primitive, evidently unaware of post-Grecian mathmatics.  Their behavior leans to 1, 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, etc, or 1, 10, 20, 30, as an example, or 4, 14, 24, 34, while the 40, 41, 42, 43 seems to comfortably work within the same system. 

6)  The most effective place to get a general view of what's happening now and what's going to happen with the lottery systems is in the Keno games and their histories where the numbers go highest.

But all this is looking at symptoms and manifestations.  We're examining the engine roar, the torque on the drive wheels, the RPMs, without any understanding of the fuel system and other components.

That flower, or mandala at the top of this entry is a Tilley hat and a pair of sunglasses.  The way we're seeing it as a flower rhymes with the way we're prone to percieve number bahaviors.

Someone's told us they're random.  Someone taught us to think in mathmatics.  We're primitives attempting to understand the magic of an automobile.

36 revved up three times in three consecutive draws recently:

MM 13 35 36 43 52 5
PB 1 9 19 36 53 33

Going on the 'infinite-monkeys-infinite-typewriters-Gibbons Decline and Fall' theory, it was inevitable that 36 would repeat somewhere three times on one of the Keno games.  Most likely, Washington Lotto.  Most likely, April Fools Day, 2002.

Which it did.

But those monkeys weren't finished.  Look at the numbers in the PB MM draws.  Now, have your pre-schooler see if he/she can find those same numbers in the April Fools Day Keno draws.

A human being has to view most things from a long way off before they can be seen close-up.  And once they're close, you have a lot more difficult time seeing anything at all about them that resembles the way they appeared from afar.

Having said that, I'm guessing if any of you were trying out the high-numbers triplets and the repeater quads methods for the PB draw last night, the draw looked more comprehensible than you imagined.  Might be described as downright attractive.

Probably some of you younger blog readers aren't aware that pre-lottery Americans had their own dreams of finding a way out of the monetary strait-jackets.  Around the turn of the last century thousands of men with guts and a shared dream rushed to Alaska following the discovery of gold in the Yukon.  During the 1920s and '30s they rushed to Oklahoma and Texas in a rags to riches (for a few) wildcatting-for-oil frenzy.

Mostly the minerals became a lot more difficult to locate, prices of gold and silver declined, and major consortiums  bought up the most promising oil leases.  The dreams didn't die, but the tools for making those dreams come true became a lot more cunning and elusive.

During the early 1950s, however, the US decided there were a lot of places that still needed bombing.  They'd whetted their appetites on New Mexico, Japan and some islands in the Pacific, but there were places in Nevada that were crying to have a hydrogen bomb or two set off on them, and the potential for bombing the bejesus out of a lot of Russians seemed to be a good bet.

The US needed uranium for a generation of nuclear weapons, and nobody'd yet paid much mind to where it might be located.

 

Uranium was the new gold.  Find it, file a claim, you're a wealthy man, came the news.

The two men in this picture, along with thousands of other Americans, responded to the call, were preparing to do so while they posed for this photo.  They'd bought a WWII jeep, loaded it with WWII surplus gear, Geiger-counters, picks, shovels, and soon afterward headed off into the wilds of northern NM and Utah for several months.

By the time they returned to their hard-scrabbled farms in Eastern New Mexico, the world knew there's plenty of uranium, no problem, no major value.

But, they had an adventure, my granddad and Charlie Nelson.  They were part of the last gold rush.  They had the courage to follow a dream while Americans still allowed themselves to dream.

When you’re as smart as we are, one of the things you know is that there’s no way to beat the odds.  No way to get around those buzzillion to nothing chances they’ve put into the multi-state lotteries. 

We know there’s no way around it because we’re smart enough to see it’s purely luck. 

We know they’ve put in a lot higher numbers into the matrix to further foil us if we think we can get around it with number histories.

We know those numbers are random because smart people have told us it’s so, because we’re smart enough to believe what other smart people tell us.

So, having acknowledged all that stuff we know, I’d observe that the last two draws from PB and MM included 53/36 (PB), and 53/50 (MM).  If I was feeling foolish enough, I’d probably swing back into the NY Lotto histories and the PB/MM histories and try to discover whether there appeared to be anything comprehensible in what’s happened in the past when those particular high numbers, 53/36 (PB), and 53/50 (MM) hit.

But, I’d observe from inside this idiotic mindset, there’s something else.  19 repeated on PB.  50 repeated on MM.  53 repeated between the two.

If I was feeling a really bull-goose case of insanity, I’d go back and look at those kinds of histories, as well:

Of course, I don’t play Mega Millions.  And if I did, I think I’d still be ‘way too smart to buy a ticket with, say, 57 on it for tonight.  I wouldn’t even bother looking for other numbers that seem to repeat themselves when 19, 50 and 53 suffered the enormous humiliation (to their randomness) in the coincidence of having repeated themselves.

I wouldn’t bother looking, even for a minute, for sets of numbers that struggle to defy the odds and hit repeatedly when those high numbers come down the pike and 19, 50 and 53 repeat themselves.

I’d be too smart for that, too practical.  Too sane.

Ceiling and visibility unlimited. The Federal Aviation Administration weather guessers invented this one, methinks.  You call in for in-route weather reports, they tell you CAVU all the way to your destination.... You listen to the winds aloft, find you have a 20 knot tail-wind at 8000 MSL. 

You smile to yourself, wrap it all up into the same package with the CAVU, taxi down to the end of the strip.  Run up.  Left mag, right mag, carb heat, everything A-OK.  Lock the left toe-brake and examine those beautiful empty skies for aircraft.  Nuthun but pure clear altitude up there.

Straight down the tube, lock the toe brakes, full throttle, full RPMs, release the toe brakes... roll, bring up the tail... roll, feel her  trying to fly... lift the nose you're free.

That's how it all begins.  You allow yourself to believe it's true. 

Yeah, I'm a top-hand.  I have a handle on things.  I'm what they call a real neat guy.

That's your most vulnerable moment.  That's the time in this life, you, me, savoring the sweetness of knowing we are just the smartest, coolest, most absolutely scintillating critters that ever came down the pike, that's when we close our eyes.

Maybe it will get us into trouble, but often enough it doesn't so's to let us get into a habit.  The universe has lots of time, and an unplanned, hard landing isn't the only penalty for self-imposed blindness.  Probably that isn't even the worst penalty over the long haul.

What's wrong with high-number triplets?

They're not 100 percent successful.

Consider the high number combination 52/51

You can't depend every single time on the number 1, or 10, or 30, or 35, for instance, being somewhere within the three-draw sequence.

You might argue, you blog readers, sure, But it happens a LOT!

Sure, I'd whine in response.  Yeah, it happens a lot.  But it's not 100 percent. 

What's the sense of knowing, say, if I see a 52/51 high number combination in a draw on any of the
lotteries, that if 10 isn't in that draw, or in the previous one, that it stands a heck of a good chance of hitting on the next draw?

What's the good in that, I moans?  It doesn't always happen.  Me, I want certainties.  I just want someone to give me the six numbers that are going to hit on the next draw.  Not a bunch of high probabilities I have to work for and maybe buy more than one ticket.

That's why I like dreams and horoscopes, fortune cookies and huckster predictions.  I want certainties.

After action analysis:

Powerball last night:

8/6/2005

1

9

19

36

53

33

 

The triplets from the MM draw high numbers the previous night derived from other lotteries.  The top three sets I posted from FL Lotto contained five of the six powerball numbers drawn last night:

FL
May 11, 2005	4	5	9	17	19	30
May 7, 2005	3	25	29	47	50	53
May 4, 2005	10	19	22	33	34	44
May 1, 2004	11	13	18	29	41	51
Apr 28, 2004	9	21	22	25	50	53
Apr 24, 2004	12	15	25	30	33	47

36 didn't show itself until several sets later:

Apr 15, 2000	10	17	20	29	42	47
Apr 12, 2000	7	13	21	36	50	53
Apr 8, 2000	1	7	15	22	32	43

If you go back and have a look at those draws on that entry a couple of days ago and compare it to the PB draw last night, study it a bit, you'll see a number of interesting things.
