I like the idea that some of the proceeds go to charities. I wish that happened here but Nevada doesn't participate in the lotteries available. I think it has a lot to do with the casino's not wanting any competition.
Interesting exercise looking back ten years. John and I became great-grandparents four times, that was pretty significant. 2017 I discovered Writing.Com which changed my life for the better, inspired me and often caused frustration as I struggled to write something vaguely interesting, funny or poignant.

Politically my adopted country has been very unsettled as we’ve lived through five prime ministers in the last decade, I think unsettled and unsettling has been a common phenomenon throughout the world during that time. The voice of Climate Change is getting louder, more strident and insistent, I’m afraid we can’t ignore that voice much longer.
