Numbers

Episode #18 is Hurley-centric. We see him win the lottery and then have nothing but bad things happen to him. Through a convoluted route we learn that the numbers are more than likely the reason he is on the island. They are the reason the mysterious “French Chick” ended up on the island sixteen years ago as well. Up until now there have been a lot of little weird things going on on the island and they have seemed just that, but with this development it appears that something really big and metaphysical is happening here.

About a year ago I noticed some wear spots on the Emperor’s top and I thought it wouldn’t be long before we needed to buy a new one and have it installed. Managed to get another year out of it. This past Saturday when I got in the car I could see two pinholes of light coming through the top right where I had noticed the cloth had been worn. I thought for a while I would opt for a vinyl replacement top to save a couple hundred bucks, but decided to go with cloth again this time because of it’s longevity. On previous Miatas I’ve had vinyl and I seemed to have needed a new top about every three years. I use a top (see below.) The Emperor came with a cloth top and it has lasted nearly five.
