Lottery hermeneutics for yesterday's numbers—
PA— Midday 711, Evening 039.
NY— Midday 440, Evening 704.
Simple interpretive methods— numbers as dates and as hexagram numbers— yield 7/11, hexagram 39, and 7/04.
The reader may supply his own interpretations of 7/11 and 7/04; for hexagram 39, see Wilhelm's commentary—
"The hexagram pictures a dangerous abyss lying before us
and a steep, inaccessible mountain rising behind us."

This suggests revisiting The Edge of Eternity (July 5, 2005).
The hermeneutics of the NY midday 440 is more difficult. A Google search suggests that a Log24 post for Epiphany 2004, "720 in the Book," might yield a clue to the 440 riddle.
By all means, let us 440.
