I’m not talking about a swimming pool, I am referring to the “office pool”. This is the office pool that takes no skill, no football knowledge, just a lot of luck to win. The pools I’m referring to are the many betting schemes that are circulating around leading up to the big game this Sunday. It kind of works this way: There usually are squares that are drawn on a paper or poster. Each participant pays their $5 or $10 and writes their name in one or more of the squares. When all of the 100 or so squares are taken, the pool director randomly selects numbers 0-9 for both the vertical columns and horizontal rows. How do you win? At the end of each quarter of the game, the last digit of each team’s score determines the winning numbers. So, if my two numbers are 0 and 7 and Denver scores one touchdown, then I may be a winner. The total pool money is split into four quarters with the final score paying out more than the three previous quarters. Now, you know how to play. By the way, sports betting in California is illegal. Goodwill Store Ribbon Cutting The long awaited opening of the Goodwill Store located at 13245 S. Hawthorne Blvd. will be this Friday, January 31 at 8:30 a.m. After a somewhat lengthy debate at several City Council meetings last fall, the store was given approval to sell used items. From outward appearances, Goodwill will be a nice addition to the boulevard where many store fronts remain vacant. The management who made their presentations at the council meetings promised that they would be good neighbor and try to employ local people. I see that we also will have another Ross Dress For Less Store opening soon on 120th Street in the vacant Levitz’s building just east of Lowe’s. February – A Month of Holidays It is hard to believe that the first month of 2014 is already behind us. Maybe our nice weather has made our winter seem even shorter. February will be here this Saturday and the month brings with it a lot of celebrations. Beginning with Super Bowl Sunday, we have Valentine’s Day, Lincoln’s birthday, President’s Day and Black History Month. In case you are wondering, the Hawthorne City Hall will not be closed for any of the Monday holidays but will only be closed on the 7th and 21st which is the normal Friday off schedule. Make sure you move your car for street sweeping and pull your trash cans out on the regular days during this the shortest month of the year.
