I'm relieved I didn't win the lottery.

I wish I hadn't played.  I am philosophically opposed to the lottery, in multiple ways (that I could really go on about).  I don't know what got into me.

Still recovering from big eclipse trip.  There's so much I could write about it.  For now lemme just say I'm glad I went through with it.  And it really takes it out of me, driving and driving, days in a row.  It didn't used to.  Now it does.  I sort of remember that any more, but I also sort of forget.

Also on the list of Things to L(ive For or just L)ook Forward To:  the next total eclipse nearby.  Nearer by.

I'll put up a postcard later today, I hope.  Hey, y'all.  Y'few.  :)

The way lottery proceeds have been conveniently tied to popular public services is actually one of the (several) reasons I object to it. Those things should be routinely funded by the regular flow of revenue from taxes, not tied to or contingent in any way on profits from public gambling operations. It's bullshit and a scam to make govt-sponsored gambling seem "good" that way.

my understanding is in our state, these things are funded anyway. the money from the lottery is extra. its not a have or have not situation.
