I’m not usually a big fan of the gospels, but I do like that story a lot, as long as it is understood symbolically, of the widow who gives her last coin to the temple, and Jesus declares that she has made the greatest donation, because it was worth more to her, than the thousands of sheqels (or whatever) donated by the board members who all made huge donations and had rooms, or benches or whatever named after them.
I thought it would have been a nice ending if Jesus had actually returned that sheqel, and maybe another to her, and told her to go by groceries, but the point is still good. (Again, as long as it is not meant to be understood as a real story-- and in reality, the Temple would not demand a person’s very last sheqel, since one thing the temple did with the money was disburse a certain amount to the poor.)
I’m not missing your point, Superdude. Just saying we don’t know how much that donor started with. If that happened to be Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey or Elon Musk, well… But if it was someone making even $200,000 a year, yeah, that’s still awfully generous.

Looks like I missed recording points for Louise Lasser, who moves Hatchie up to a 63rd place tie and Nurse Carmen up to a tie at 49th. They will be correct on the next scoreboard.
If you think your score looks wrong, go ahead and point it out. We all make mistakes.
I want to thank eschereal for officially picking up the Death Master role for the rest of this year. They have been doing a fantastice job since I slacked off. I tried working out where I stopped and realized I’d lost track of so much that catching up would be hard and I’d probably screw it up. I will be here from time to time since I’m still scoreless.
