Morning blogsters:

Windy pre-dawn here.  Feels blustery and colder than it actually is. 

Got semi-dry clothes hung up from every protruberance indoors from a batch of laundry I did yesterday without flooding the place

The prediction method I tried out on Pick 5s yesterday seems to offer some promise....

3 of 5 on Connecticutt and California

4 of  5 on Texas

I'll tweak it some more today if I get a chance and see if it firms up any, or whether yesterday was just an anomaly.  The system assumes a hungering for 'balance' among the numbers in ways that don't involve how long it's been since they hit.

Strange concept, but yesterday it showed a bit of promise, so I'll work on it some more and see it it holds.

Left the comp on playing itself trying out blackjack strategies all night.... some interesting preliminary results on that, which I've posted over on the GAMING thread.  I'll be continuing with running that Bearwear animated blackjack program and tweaking BJ strategies for a million hands or so when the comp isn't doing anything else.

I'm running it on a six-deck shoe game with two, or three players using different strategies.  When one loses enough to convince me there's need I'll tweak his strategy and see if things improve.

Sort of fun.

Hope all you blogsters a great day out there.  Hold on to your hats or that wind will haul them off to the middle of next week.
