good or not good, hard to say

The New England Patriots are the first NFL team to partner with its respective state Lottery to create an instant ticket.

Just this past week, the NFL owners agreed to let teams work with their state lottos to develop instant tickets. And New England waited all of a few days to announce they are in the process of developing one that will begin sales prior to this upcoming season.

I am not sure I agree with this partnership. Isn’t this a form of gambling? I mean I am all for state lottery and giving back to communities but couldn’t the Patriots just give money to local communities instead? Seems a round about way to give back, if you are asking people to spend hard to come by money on lotto tickets so the revenue can be given to the community.

not the records I want to beat

Well according to the Arizona Republic article I read today, the Valley could break the record for the most consecutive days in May of 100plus degree weather by Tuesday. Today marked the 12th day in a row and 13 is the record. I a pretty sure we will beat this hands down. And what the hell does this say for our summer? OMG!!!! I am so not looking forward to it.
