Most Shalampaxians will know this, but I don’t remember ever mentioning it here in Shalampax Speaks. About five or so years ago, I created a betting pool. The question on which the pool was based was, “For how many consecutive days will we have at least a half-hour—it could be more, but at least a half-hour—of rain every day?”
At that point, it had already been raining for just over three years, so the predictions started at a fairly high number. There was an extraordinary interest in the betting. As a result, the jackpot climbed to $123,975.
