Today I received a check in the amount of 1015.77. It was tucked meticulously between the split in a single piece of driftwood wrapped in string. Several possibilities come to mind when one receives a lump sum of money one wasn't planning on having.
One could buy:
a plane ticket to Bulgaria
a new set of "back up" tires
a swingset for one's cat
a six year supply of toilet paper
a much needed trip to the doctor
dinner for 12 people one has never met
stock
livestock
a pre-owned swimming pool
batteries, water, and guns
dog food
an audio/visual recording implement for one's audio/visual recording friend
a nap at one of those napping stores in Tokyo
