I accidentally enthusiastically gave money for a mission trip to Costa Rica today.

I thought it was a school thing. Outside the hardware store, kids selling hot dogs and raffle tickets. What else was it going to be for?

But I'm in Idaho, sigh.

I love being in Idaho, and I've gotten comfortable here. Being white, a cheerful smile goes a long way. People here are very friendly.

They are also very Christian of the unexamined supremacist type, and I sometimes forget that. I've learned to safely navigate the culture here, but they're still trying to impose it elsewhere.

I hope they have fun on their trip, and I hope they learn more about the wide world than they manage to teach about their narrow one.

So you'll never believe this. I won the raffle. I entered for the $50 gift basket. So a really great investment for me! And I hope those kids have fun on their mission trip and learn more than the people they're going to teach.

It's weird. I had a feeling I was going to win. Just this little joking voice inside me.

I figure the odds were in my favor. There probably weren't too many tickets in there.

I think I spent $5 on two tickets.

I got sent a gofundme for an extended family member to go on a trip to spread the word. I just ignored it. Which in this situation isn't a problem.

Or hopefully they get to skip out, and just lay around the beach all day.
