So my mother thought that a big lottery prize was the solution to her problems, what with all the relatives with their hands out at the time a few years ago. She had me help her buy a ticket. I explained to her about the need to keep it secret if she wins but the likelyhood they'll find out on their own and the troubles that would ensue. And some stories of what has made the news.
So she says, "I ought to just tear this up before it has a chance to ruin my life."
SO they're saying the donations have topped $700 million to restore Notre Dame, probably only a start but that part I'm not so worried about. Some pictures give the idea that it might not be so bad as it could have been.
But what happens if it starts the terrorists thinking these are great targets? So much of the historic Europe was destroyed in WWII by the Allied bombing that had so little effect on the real war.
