...only wonder why he decided to donate his lucrative earnings from the popular daytime game show to Harvard University, of all places. He could have spent his money on one of the Showcase Showdown dream vacations to Guadalajara (brand new jeep included) or poured his money into a golf course so he could practice his "Hole in One" putts.

Little dervish snow tornadoes twirl across the blank. The car is out there somewhere, represented by a subtle bump in the snowfield. The old Jeep truck, a larger beast, is up to its door handles, like a sinking remnant: dinosaur yielding to ice age.
