I can relate to that, as our transpondian friends say.

I was thinking of a botanical garden, and funds sufficient to provide
operating expenses, but David may have topped me.

But, if I won the lottery, that would require a miracle. Like many
people of my background, I have never bought a ticket, discourage
everyone from buying me one, and intend to continue in that line ....
