i had a dream last night: i had to visit somebody°hard word in the hospital. roughly 75 years old; had been in a minor°hard word car accident.
what did I bring them? scratch-off°hard word lottery°hard word tickets.
in the dream, this turned out to be a great thing to bring. the dexterity°hard word involved°hard word was challenging°hard word yet°hard word possible. the excitement was noticeable°hard word but not°hard word overwhelming°hard word. once neither of the two tickets won°hard word, there was no issue°hard word with redeeming°hard word the tickets. and at $4, it was no more expensive°hard word than a greeting°hard word card.

for a younger person of the same competence°hard word, lottery°hard word tickets may be a trap°hard word of addiction°hard word.
for the temporarily-impaired°hard word senior°hard word, perhaps they are a good thing.
🔥 now I just need to try it in real life.
